Since this was totally unacceptable, I completely rewrote the "chase" routine, which was the time gobbler--it now keeps up with the key- board/screen very well. It doesn't have quite the same feel as the old routine, but it does get tougher at about the same speed. I started with a 2.8BSD version of snake... if anyone REALLY wants my mods, I'll see what I can do. PLEASE mail to me, not the group. /Bruce Borden ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
