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

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
