---- Why? Do you have any knowledge of scripting to be sure that it won't work? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Charles Rivard Sent: 15 February 2006 08:09 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: audyssey: what about scripting pack man? If it is a bug in the game, a script would not correct the problem. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nicol Oosthuizen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2006 10:40 PM Subject: audyssey: what about scripting pack man? > > NB: This email and its contents are subject to our email legal notice > which can be viewed at http://www.sars.gov.za/Email_Disclaimer.pdf > > ---- > I don't know how many of you on this list can do jaws scripting.
