	Actually, I'm writing a book to cover most game questions (video 
modes, sprite animation, sound, keyboard handling, parser control,
plots and ending everyone's search for the Ultimate BadGuy).
	Of course, it still needs it's revisions, we still haven't
polled the  publishers yet (but I'm a journalism guy with some contacts
and experience writing, so that may not be a prob) and it may not
be a book on games if things change (maybe a book on Demo graphics 
for buisness presentation - mostly the same material, diff title).
	And you guys wondered why i ask so many questions...
