Many thanks to echo for staying up late last night and making Windows packages!

  This update contains the functionality needed to play a game. This is my
Christmass Present to the OV Group. I spent a good 14 hours yesterday putting
it together and I hope you'll find it fun to play.

  The game is called AcroMania. You are given an acronym and you make a phrase
from it. when everyone is done, you vote for the best phrase. Try it out! The

Thu Dec 23 18:29:47 EST 1999            Beta 0.8 n progress

        * Fixed a couple server bugs.

        * Made all the objects force an update so that logging into a
          server will not seem as slow while it's drawing the objects.
          You'll see them as they come in now which is over all slower but
          more desireable to know that something is going on.

        * Added a new object type. ENTRY allows you to collect information
          from the users in combination with a second new object type of
          SUBMIT. A submit object will send all entries to the server with
          the submit object's name as a final paramater.

Wed Dec 22 21:29:35 EST 1999            Beta 0.8 n progress

        * Added a new object type. TELL will cause the client to tell the
          server the name of the area which she just clicked. The server
          will then check it's tell registry for a function to run when a
          user does this and runs that function with the user's name. It's
          handy for buttons which should do something, like close the
          object down.
        * Changed the TestNum function to be more efficient. This is based
          on notes posted to usenet by Klaus Riehm
          <Klaus.Riehm@mch.sni.de> on comp.lang.tcl

Wed Dec 22 00:59:49 EST 1999            Beta 0.8 n progress

        * Centralized debug output in the client into a function called
          DebugIt. To use this function, just put your text to it, if
          debugging is on it will output it otherwise it will be ignored.

        * Added a debug window. it will be popped up when alt+d is
          pressed. It will contain any debugging information output from
          the application and it's plugins.

        * Fixed a problem with the nametags going under the avatar when
          ABOVE commands were sent to the client.
