http://lists.csua.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gzg-lThanks Indy,
I hadn't thought about the Academy cruiser duel. I always liked that

game on FTJava. That may be a thought also.

Thanks for the hints. I will followup on them this weekend.

Yes, I'm a holdover grognard from FT2, but I'm trying to move into the
present with FT2.5, since its more current.
