Re: LZ: doh

thanx for finally toning down your messages. a few things to say (nice
positive ones :)

(a.) there are three shells: -the os-85 shell (big and some people don't
			      like it
			     -explorer, yes, this is a shell and when
expander libraries are fully completed you can pop up expander menus real
nice. like that :) also note the explorer is only, what, 800 bytes?!!!
			     -simple shell. usgard version of
cshell/zshell with same features and all the nice libraries nad new
functions provided by the other usgard shells. 

note: you only have to have one shell on your calc at once. I'm sure, you
could knock out stuff you don't want and get usgard to only take abtou
1500 to 2000 more bytes then zshell. In addition, the number of games
you'll have will be smaller (saving more then 2000 bytes!!!) and
faster!!!! MUCH faster. :) what could be better?

(b.) I would appreciate if people would not dissemble my games and edit
them and rerelease them over the internet. If you'd like to do it for your
own use that's fine with me, but I did work on the stuff for a while. Also
realize Mega Racers is my first real zshell/asm game EVER. :) If you
insist on releasing modified coded of mine PLEASE give me credit for my
work.
