Uihja, that would be cool! I'll see. But it'll be my
current "when I'm bored" project only. You know for
those sleepless hours between 2 and 4 o'clock in the
morning. :-)
My main focus will be Gateway to Apshai. If anyone is
seriously interested in doing a Starship 1 port as his
main project, I'd be very happy to team-up. I'd tackle
all the hardcore kernel stuff, promised. :-)

There is quite some. I thought more then once about
doing "Dog Patch" or "Dead Eye" as possible Gunfight
follow-up.

With the starship 1 kernel I posted, the visuals would
be really close to the original. It is soo tight, I
couldn't even do a color shading if I wanted to.
Greetings,
