- I'm off the net for a month, and NH++ has come and gone, looks like.
- So, would someone explain what it is, where I can get it, and...

-
- ... When I can expect too see something like this arrive? I too am in
- the 'can't afford' group. I would get the sources and try to compile
- them myself, but I doubt I have quite the requisite skill, from the
- sound of the problems others have had, and QuickC 2.0 would probably
- choke over the thing.
-
- (When I can afford a 386+ I would me more than happy to take a whack
- at it with MSC7, but it could be a long time...)
-
- By the way, why is the executable only for 286 or above in the first
- place? I realize the game can be a bit slow on an '88 but it runs,
- and if you use it as an OL game for a bbs, (as I do) you barely notice
- the delays. Or is it just that the compiler used isn't capable of
- generating 8088 compatible code? (What is this?!?)
-
- Thanks,
