Past:
Version 2.00 is still going very strong. Registrations have been coming in at a good pace, and the Universal Hiscores page has some unbelievably good results posted. Still, I would very much like to see the game being spread out more outside Finland. I gotten some mail from Norway and Slovakia (!) but that's about it, so if you have friends outside Finland, do copy SJ2 to them also, or if you know a good web site or file server, upload SJ2 there too. I'm sure that it would have a reception in other big ski jumping countries like Austria or even Japan.
Present:
Registrations and results still keep me quite busy. I have to apologize that I'm not always able to update the record list, answer your mail or send you your registration on time, thank you for your patience. Things have calmed down a little bit in school, and progress for version 2.10 has already been made. Better graphics for the jumper, the introduction of "Top 5 at the Moment" and maybe a few more hills are on the improvement list for version 2.10. And by the way, the latest MikroBitti has some info on SJ2, so you might want to check it out...
Future:
There's still a lot of work to be done, especially in the graphics department. But things are looking quite good now, I'm still thinking about adding sound (and music of course) to SJ2, so if you know about a easy way to add Sound Blaster music to Turbo Pascal, let me know.

Special Update:
I've been real busy with all kinds of stuff, so I've real slow to send out registrations or answer your mail. I'm sorry, I vow to change... To the real issue: there has been some problems with the replacement hill system so I zipped all the pcx-files, so now they should transfer without any problems. Do let me know, if problems occur. I'm probably going to change the whole hillchecking system by the next version.

Thanks a lot, feel absolutely free to mail me with whatever comments or suggestions you may have.
