[reasonable response to the latest rumours]
Since there seems to be a new rash of rumours about to begin, perhaps
someone could comment on the following:
(1) Where is TeX for the GS?
(2) How can I get hold of HyperMover? I've finally been able to order
HCGS.
(3) Where can one find some utility to deal with the various digitized
and midi'd sound formats? By dealing, I mean converting.
(4) Where can one find a vt100 terminal program which acts as a "shell"
from within which one could invoke kermit, for example?
(5) Is anyone writing a tektronics' terminal for the GS. If not, then
how about a utility to allow one to view different graphics'
formats? I'm not referring to PICT, GIF,etc...and other formats, but
things like HPGL, Postscript,etc...It doesn't have to be done on the
fly, but an application would do( much like a TeX previewer).
(6) Finally, there are many adventure games for the GS, and they are often
very difficult. By using a variety of solutions to a game, it might
be possible to alter a game's difficulty. Thus, one could set the
level of difficulty of the game from easy to hard. I don't know why
people don't include such a scheme in their games. It would be much
like being able to set the number of pieces in a puzzle to suit the
person. Can this be done?

There is a Gs emulator for Textronic graphics. Im unsure as to
whether is really works since I haven't been able to test it out. Its
called GSVT I believe, and its on America-Online and probably elsewhere.
I have it somewhere on my hard-drive... :) If anyone would like a copy
(I believe its shareware of freeware) drop me a note.
