   actually if you look closer several things were changed. The original 
85 version routine used de, or a, and some other stuff not used in the 
82 version. Also the in the 82 version hl is used.

     I meant what I said as a means of giving you credit not as any sort 
of an insult. Your message implies anger toward me which I don't 
understand, but I thank you again anyway. The level skip code is in 2 
places unlike the 85 version because it struck me as dumb that you would 
need to start a level before skipping through it.

>you made up?

   I'm going to the lasers powerup from the 85 Lasers Universe. I'm also 
going to add some spinoffs from the other powerups like 50 points, super 
brickthru, Catch-All, and I want to add some negative powerups like 
instant death, etc. so you have to think about which powerups you are 
collecting. As for MegaBlox they seem pretty dumb.

       Actually I picked that day because I won't be able to program 
again till the weekend. Then I have monday and tuesday to beta test. And 
also because April 22 is my birthday.

    That seems extremely dumb. For one thing I am not a fan of autofire. 
For another thing having DEL be the fire key would be extremely 
uncomfortable given the directions keys being the movement keys.
