I have recently placed updated versions of my games in
the submissions directories of nova.cc.purdue.edu and
cs.orst.edu.  Here's a brief description of the changes
to all three (PacMan, Columns, and PillBottle).

-----------------------------------------------------------

PacMan:

Bug fixes, mostly.  The Makefile is fixed, the console
messages should be gone, the return char. in the subject
field of the suggestions mailer is gone, and so on.  I
think I've nabbed all the reported _bugs_, but haven't
had time to get around to much in the new feature category.

There are two new features, however.  (1) You can now set
the background picture by drag and drop of a .tiff or .eps
image from the WorkSpace.  (2) The stats and fruit basket
panels move around with the PacMan window.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Columns:

The only real change is the addition of drap and drop
backgrounds as in PacMan.  However, if you are a registered
user, you may now request source code from me and I will
e-mail it to you.

-----------------------------------------------------------

PillBottle:

This is an interim release.  I'm hard at work revamping
things, but felt that I'd like to share some of what I've
accomplished now...most of the improvements are in the
underlying code, and not so visible on the surface, but
the interface is prettier and the images (finally) ought
to look good on both color _and_ monochrome machines.  If
you thought the graphics were ugly before, try it out
again; I think it looks a bit better now.  I still need to
speed up drawing and finish the implementation of several
features, but it's getting there.  If you registered for
PillBottle, you may now request source for that as well.
It's not what I'd call a finished state, but you can have
a peek at it just the same. :-)

-----------------------------------------------------------

The file names are, specifically:

Columns2.0.app.tar.Z
PacMan1.1.tar.Z
PillBottle0.8b.app.tar.Z

and they are located in /pub/next/submissions on both
nova( or sonata).cc.purdue.edu and cs.orst.edu.


Well, try out the new versions and let me know what you think
of them.  I've you've already requested a feature, and it
hasn't shown up yet, don't panic!  I'm working as fast as I
can of these, but there's only so much spare time in the day!
