Subject: [URL] 3d GZG starmap up! (was Re:[FT]Size of "Countries" in FT)
I just got Tony Christney's Java-applet 3d starmap of the GZG universe posted. <http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Nebula/games.html> You'll need a Java 1.1-capable browser to make the 3d viewer work. If you want to ask/congratulate Tony about his work, email him directly:

You can try using Netscape 4.06 if you can get it. I know that it works fine with that browser (at least under NT4.0, Solaris and Macintosh). > -= tim jones =-
