Well I've done in the past a version of the Magnetic emulator (that also allows for the graphics to be displayed - ripped from other versions of the Pawn and displayed using libpng). However it was never stable enough to be released. I guess I will have to pick that one up again and finish it (Allthough thanks to Per Witte's "curse" a while back - Not really a curse but he sent that with two kids I will have my hands full when at the time I did not but somehow it ended up being like that!- I have less time than ever and almost all of it is spent of freeQDOS). Back to Magnetic, I even went so far to convert the mp3 files accompanying the magnetic games to a ub format, so they would work on my Q40. Now that QPC allows that as well, I see no reason why it couldn't be used under QPC as well. > >> 4Matter/Locksmith, went two steps further than that.
