Past:
Version 2.1 was finally finished and released last week. Whew! There was an awful lot of work collecting your e-mail addresses and putting the final touches on the manuals and other text files. Some nice people have already sent their (cheap!) re-registrations. Thank you's for your ever-lasting support. Hopefully the new version will be as accepted as the last one.
Present:
Things are starting to cool down, and I'll be sending the registrations as soon as the money arrives to my account. (You know the drill.) Re-registering for those cool dudes who registered v2.00 is very cheap, so don't wait any longer! Please read that REGISTER.TXT for details.

At the moment I'm working on the Automatic Hiscore List Updater! That means I won't have to manually add your results (from SENDME.TXT) to the Universal Superman list. This means that I will be able to add _everyone's_ results to the list, so in the future the list will be more like Top 300 than Top 30! Finally. I have most of your (old) results saved in my mail directory somewhere, but do send me your results like you have so far.
Future:
If the weather doesn't improve here in Finland the following is true: the A.H.L.U (see above) should be finished in a month or so. (I'm really slow) I'm writing it in C language so that slows it down too. Version 2.2 is already in my thoughts. More hills (total of 20,22,23 or 25, you tell me) and sound support are on their way. I also hope to make the scoreboards and stats better for the next version. Somebody suggested a World Championship at the end of each season, and it sounded like a good idea and will work on that one too. Keep those re- (and new) registrations coming! Also SENDME.TXT's are very much welcome.

But if the weather improves here, don't spend your summer sitting at home staring at a tube, damn it! Go out and play some basketball, soccer, tennis or whatever with your friends. I know I will! :)

Special Hiscore Update:
The weather has sucked, and so I finished that Automatic Hiscore List Updater and the result of that can be seen in the Hiscore pages! The Top 30 changed to TOP 260 once I ran the old sendme.txt's you have sent me in the past 6 months. Some people forgot to tell me their names, so there are some ?????'s there, but overall it looks great! Now more than ever you should send me your sendme.txt's! By the way, the program can be easily modified to do the same to other game programs, so if you're a game programmer and want to start your own hiscore lists, contact me.

Oh yeah, and also I added an feature to the Jointop.exe Topten combining program. You can make the program skip the computer generated jumpers now. Thanks to Marko "Hile" Hiltunen for the tip!

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