PKZ193A.exe is a self-extracting executable; it has all the pkzip files in
it and has just been uploaded to wuarchive.wustl.edu /pub/MSDOS_UPLOADS

If arj239a.exe is not in the MSDOS_UPLOADS directory, I'll try and upload
it too.

Sorry this is so confusing! ANOTHER NOTE ON THE ICONS.ARJ DEMO PROGRAM A
(sorry caps lock) animap.exe: it will appear that this is only one screen,
which wraps around as necessary.  The map size can be up to the max array
size dos can handle (pretty huge).  Yes, right now the map is wraparound. 
If there is enough demand, I could try to code one that automatically
loads in a new map array and links them, allowing unlimited size,. when
people reach the edge of the map, but that's a little ambitious for now.

note: to look at a bigger map, change the constructor

animap mymap (15, 15, ...) or whatever

to

animap mymap(25,25...) where 25 and 25 are the new xwidth and yheight.

A new version of icons.arj should be up soon, including a normal/fast
switch for icons (using compiled bitmaps), event class (run anim and
remove from map; ie explosions), maybe facing-actors, hopefully
moving-actors (that are still unless moving, then "walk" the appropriate
way).

Hope it helps__>Vputz
