To drag this thread back on topic, I've posted an inquiry to the GMA list
asking David for a list of feature changes and new features in LW 4. The
biggest thing I remember is a major overhaul of the mission writing part of
the game to add much more intelligence to the enemy and friendly ships. But
in any case, when he has answered, we will be able to put an end to the
speculative postings on this topic and have a discussion based on actual
information, rather than the scattered things that some of us remember from
years back.

As I said valliant, I just don't like relying on a search box, I prefer to
physically go and put things in different places.
Also, the expanded thing was irritating in the explorer for windows 7, I
personally prefer just hitting enter on a folder to see what's inside it,
though again this is just microsoft altering the Ui and telling people it's
different.
I'll probably get that program quentin mentioned.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
