I am looking for the following programs:

	* a uudecode utility for the amiga
	* AmigaMonitor

Can anyone email me the source/uuencoded executable or give me a pointer
to a place where I can obtain them via FTP?

Also, does anybody know if SubLogic ever intends to release Flight
Simulator/Jet/Radar Raiders/any flight-simulator type game for the
Amiga?  Or are they offering us more vaporware?

	Yes, I've checked a demo version at my local shop and he expects
to receive them next week (around Nov 12).  I've flown the sucker and I
find it really nice (compared to the Mac version).  The screen updates
are much smoother, as expected, and the release version is even smoother.
The only major features that weren't in the demo was Slew mode and any
keyboard commands (wierd omission) which precludes starting a war in WWI
Ace.  I'm not familiar with the navigational aids but I did get
responses while twiddling with them.  An added feature is that you can
connect to another Amiga and fly interactively!

	So, the wait may almost be over.

Flip side,

	I caught a brief glimpse of Flight Simulator this weekend.
Its sortof what you would expect, decent graphics, but not much better
than the C64 version.  It seems they sacrificed graphics for smooth
scroll and speed.  It is VERY smooth scrolling, and it is for sale,
at least in NJ.

Flight Simulator II was available for sale this weekend at the second
Amiga fair held by Family Computer Centers in Farifield NJ. They also
had Defender of The Crown, which is a great game/simulation!!!
