Yeah, that makes sense. I was hoping to maybe understand the code and
just produce a patch :-) but if I can at least help pinpoint when things
changed/broke, maybe that'll help.

The updates are much appreciated - especially in the networking code. On
those rare occasions when I can pull my son away from his whizzy 3D
multi-player shoot'em'ups to go a few rounds on the old Sparcstation (or
now with Apple's X11 available for MacOSX) it's fun to torture him with a
game that requires a little more thought, strategy and patience than the
typical twitchy FPS games so prevalent today. He can whoop me at Quake3
but can't even come close at MazeWar... go figure. :-) And xconq proves
that "old age and treachery overcomes youth and skill." Heh heh.
I'll post more info when I've had time to do some more test builds.
Cheers,
