Yick... soryy this has taken so long but recent updates to the YakIcons library have upgraded my "next release" from 1.4 to 1.5 to 2.0; mouse routines, onscreen gadgets and gadget managers (buttons, sliders, switches), a joystick object, scrollable mode x text boxes, font editor, icon editor, millisecond timer (for animation frame rates, etc), hopefully much faster map objects, overlaid maps for aprallax scrolling... I was up until 3am last night trying to finish this before monday comes; my wife and dog are growing impatient... but yakIcons 2.0 should with all good reason be out tomorrow. I will try and document it and include FAQ-like questions, etc... the source code will be included and should read like a (bad) object-oriented game programming textbook with LOTS of examples. Wish I could spend more time on it (I've lost track of my own game project!), but pilot training comes soon and I'm moving to Lubbock in two weeks, so it's up to y'all now. If you want info or the laterst version of yakIcons (if you don't have ftp) send me a letter at yakWare c/o Victor B., Putz, sr. (my Dad) 701 Bellevue Blvd South Bellevue, NE 68005 YakIcons is free shareware, so please don't consider this an advertisement. I'll get the "press release" out tomorrow explaining what it can do. Best of luck and good gaming-->Vputz the fried
