The levels are non-free and that is due to the short sighted attitude of those who devised them, tough - press on without them, their loss. Those who wanted the levels to be non-free appear unwilling to do the work to maintain the package itself so who cares? The game is free, let it be free and those who sought to constrain it be damned. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
