Andrew don't think your PUSH
demo has been forgotten or that it was done in vein. I had been looking at your
demo off and on (more off than on of course :) for sometime. I have been looking
at it trying to see how a playfield would look with PF2 using 3 colors. Of
course there is no code now but mayde soon there will be. I really need to focus
on one project/hobby :) BTW I remember you stating that you were limited in colors doing this demo.
