WTF, indeed.
Off-topic, I know, but I beg your indulgence since the question was asked:
Microsoft Exchange, the POP mail client which comes bundled with Windows 95,
has an extremely annoying habit of attaching UUEncoded files to outgoing
email WITHOUT TELLING THE USER THAT IT IS DOING SO. I only mention it here
because you all saw it and might be curious. You'll notice I'm now using
Eudora Light. ;-)
My apologies for the inadvertent addition and this off-topic explanation.

Well, I don't know if anyone has tried my TLM hack (beta, only available
in a.b.g.q), but it runs so fast as to be transparent to the user, and reduces
the distributable by a factor of approx 2. This will be greatly improved in
the next version (still a hack, until we agree on a nice file format), as
I think every map so far is just a modified thing list.
BTW, does anyone else think that PHIL.BSP has a strange filesize, being an
odd number and all?
