Yeah OK I own up it was me.
I did it 'cos I wanted to try it myself, & I was fed up with the 2 bombs...
I still use it 'cos it's no different to the vanilla .42 really.
It's a re-compile with one or two _very_ safe re-codes more style than effect.

I did want to do more with it, but it *won't* compile again for me :(
It still has the Ascend bug, it bombs from time to time (same as the old one),
and it presumably won't run on a 68000 (?).
The non-compilability is due to adding the 'NOS fixes' without due back-up of
pre-'fix' files <wears hat with ears sticking through> - bum!
One day I 'll get the urge to make it work again.
