I spotted this at <A href="http://yarns.felis7.civ.pl/index.php">YARNS</a>. It's been there a few days, but the <A href="http://www.geocities.com/pyrrho12/programming/gearhead/index.html">Gearheads site</a> was down.

Sorry about posting without having read your other posts.

(I actually found the post while Googling for my name on the internet)

Won't do it again,

Hey, don't worry about it.

Say, is the author of Gearheads still working on the graphical version of the game? If so, what API is he using for it, if you know? I know he's using freepascal, but I was wondering if he's using OpenGL for the graphics since he's making both a DOS and Linux version.
