i passed my last exam today Image now i'm a diploma mathematician Image

the first exam (of 3 overall within the last weeks) went rather bad (i passed, of course, but the mark was very mediocre), but the last two exams and the two marks i got for my diploma thesis were fine :-)

of course this also means i'll have more time for Bygfoot in the next few weeks, so i guess 1.9.3 will get released in 10-14 days (if everything goes well).

p.s.: some emoticons borrowed from the elder scrolls forum (oblivion is a game i'm anticipating very much ;-))

sure. diploma mathematicians are perfect as supervisors/managers for coders, since they can think logically and see the big picture ;-)

You know, you are my only relative with an academic title...
So let me think about how to treat you in future :twisted:

Congatulations :D . Now you have the time, you shouldn't forget to incorpaorate my changes for the zip files :wink:

don't worry, i haven't forgotten. i'm just a bit doubtful whether it's a change worth making. more specifically, does the advantage of having the game work flawlessly on win98 (which isn't very wide-spread nowadays) outweigh the disadvantage of a more complicated compression system?

do you have an icq or jabber account? it'd be nice if we could discuss about this more directly.

my jabber account is given in my signature; click on the icq button below to see my icq number.

Sorry, I don't use jabber, icq or similar. I'm at work at the moment, I have no time to surf in the evening.

Maybe you're right. It should go well if your command line tool can contain around 2000 characters (save called 1.zip). Most Unixes and windows should be able to cope with that. There is only 1 Unix (tru64-which will not be used a lot to run bygfoot I suppose) I know of that has also problems with too many parameters (I don't know how many characters it can take). Windows XP can carry up to 8000+ characters in the command prompt, so you should be save there.

As long no one wants to port to handheld systems that is ;-)

what i can promise is this: the instant i receive a second bug report about this, we'll switch to your implementation ;-)

in the meantime, you should really update to some nice new shiny linux distro -- suse 10 got released recently, as well as ubuntu breezy :-)
