I spent about half an hour and wrote a program that links with Mark's icon.o file and dumps out all the tiles as portable bitmaps. I have absolutely no idea what Mark means by "preserve the artistic license of the game", so I'm going to distribute these bitmaps the same way he is: if you want them, send me mail. Include an Internet address or a uucp path relative to ucbvax. The compressed uuencoded tar file of X11-format bitmaps is 37 kilobytes, so please don't ask for them if you don't really want them. Note that I am NOT putting these bitmaps into the official Poskanzer Bitmap Collection, since they are copyrighted. --- Jef Jef Poskanzer jef@lbl-rtsg.arpa ...well!pokey Wasting time is an important part of living.
