Right now, there is no HOEDIT or anything of the sort (except what has recently been posted on the list).

I haven't even released this version that I made.

Umm, let's see, let's take all the "features" out of Oasis....what do we have?? Umm, nothing...no editor at all..that is all Oasis is anyways, it is a feature.. 8-P > > I care about stability.

So far, only 2 or 3 people have sent any bugs. So, if you could so happily send me the bugs you know of, they WILL be taken care of prior to this release when I get home asap. > Yeah, I know, I am as subtle as a super nova.

Just kidding, anywho, yes, most of the above you gave me was constructive, of course...I won't come hunt you down or anything (where ya live again?) Anywho, no problem...just a softer tone would be nicer... Yes, I can debug, and if there is something that I can't debug, I will post it on the group to get help solving the problem. In any case, the problems can and will get solved. I just need to know about them in order to fix them. The features that are already added (game configurator) will stay in this release. You have the option of using it or not using it. It is up to you. The game can still be configured using config.c.
