Several people in this office steadfastly refuse to upgrade to MS Windows 3.0 until I can provide them a version of TETRIS that runs in the new environment. Is there an update available on the network? Please mail SW order a pointer where to get it.

I got WINTRIS off Simtel20 for Windows 2 and it still works under Windows 3. The annoying message appears of course, but the nonag program should take care of that.

There is a Windows 3.0 compatible version of Tetris with enhancements available on Compuserve in the WINAPP/NewUploads forum.

I am still waiting for the SDK. Anyway: my TETRIS clone KLOTZ, which I posted to this newsgroup early this year seems to run under Win3 in both standard and enhanced mode. Of course it's a version 2 application, so one gets the warning message. When the toolkit arrives here and if I get some free time in the evening, I will do an improved version of KLOTZ and post it . I'm not sure where the better place for posting is, here or in comp.binaries.ibm.pc. I could not upload it to Simtel20, because their policy doesn't allow games (I asked). Wolfgang Strobl

KLOTZ.EXE also works fine under win 3.0; I find it superior to wintris, since it flickers far less. And on a totally different subject, does anyone know if there's a comp.windows.ms archive anywhere? Our system crashed an I lost all newsfeed from 6/7/90 to 6/12/90 (inclusive). Or if anyone could mail me the articles that would be good too. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Randy Spangler | The less things change, the | | rspangle@jarthur.claremont.edu | more they remain the same | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
