Trailing Edge Technologies had a programmer assigned to the task of completing a more thourough implentation of a stellar simulation. Work was progressing well; several types of stars were modelled, including a nebula. We then got a piece of Email, and I guote: ".. and just got, yes, it looks like the black hole simulation work. . . . ." And that was it. He is gone. His desk is gone, my stapler that i lent him is gone, everything. So don't look for a new release of ``stars'' soon. -- "Shrimp Ahoy" richard@gryphon.CTS.COM {backbone}!gryphon!richard
