Release History:^

- More NKIs added (561 total).^
^
+Release 5 / Serial Number 030524^
+Even more NKIs release.^
+- Idiotic typos fixed.^
+- More NKIs added (602 total).^

-Known Bugs:^
-^
-1) I still don't know why already_seen_xy() occasionally causes Robot to
-get placed on top of another object. Fortunately this seems to happen
-only very rarely and typically only if the difficulty is set to more
-than 200.^
+Release 6 / Serial Number 031116^
+Challenge release.^
+- More NKIs added (764 total).^
+- Increased maximum difficulty to 589.^
+- Lots more comments in the source code.^
+- Assorted cleanups in the source code.^

-2) Under Windows Frotz, Robot used to appear as a solid block. This was
-because of a bug in Windows Frotz which incorrectly makes the cursor
-opaque. The cursor is now moved off to the upper-right corner so that
-the game looks okay on terminals that use something other than reverse
-for the cursor. I still can't figure out how to make Inform hide the
-cursor completely. At least on xterm and NetBSD's console,
-@@64set_cursor -1 doesn't work.^
^
-3) Under Windows Frotz, an annoying [MORE] prompt appears at the main
-menu. This is another bug in Windows Frotz which causes the
-interpreter to follow Windows' suggestion something less than 24 or 25
-lines is okay.^

-1) PalmOS mode and screen-resizing was removed because PalmOS mode stunk

-version running on a PalmOS Z-machine interpreter.^
