"And they don't have a planned DATE for this?""Since they work on the project in their free time they decided to set the release off of when the program has the functionality they want instead of a specific date that will keep being pushed back till the functionality is available. Seems reasonable to me this way since they are not being paid to make a deadline.[Quote from MonkeyBoy]"Could you define "more recent computers"? Because if my Athlon 800 with 1/2 gig of ram is not "more recent" then we have differing views on reasonable resource usage. (its turgid on that system, an embarrassment IMO) "  It works really well on my system PIII 700, 256MB RAM, Java 1.4, Voodoo 3 card, Win 98 SE.    It also works well  on my system at work: PIII 700, 384 MB RAM, Java 1.4, Win 2k Service pack 2.  It works horribly slow on loads with my other work system: P200, 192 MB RAM, Java 1.3.1_02. But after the load time if I work only on 1 character it isn't too bad, but I wouldn't use it this way on a daily basis.  I really don't know how you have your system setup but it should perform really well. If you have not upgraded to Java 1.4 I highly recomend it. The speed increase will be noticable. WORKING Well = 15 to 21 seconds to start with auto load sources + 6 to 8 seconds to start a new character or load a premade. Horrrible = start and walk away for a couple of minutes, load character walk away for a few more minutes then it works without much hassle. Bugs: They have mostly shutdown feature requests while the GUI conversion is going on and plan to hit the bugs once the GUI is complete. Quality: They have a CVS version which is their Alpha version that they run general tests the day before release. The weekly release is Beta. It is going to have some bugs that slip through. I have the tendancy to stick with a build that is realativly bug free in the areas I use only updating when a feature or bug that affected me was fixed.-Matt</blockquote>
