One more thing to add. There have been alot of people
who have put alot of time into figuring out alot fo
the variables in various AR systems. Scouring some of
the older posts might take a little while but doing so
would probably be worth it.

Someone also had put the city and dungeon up on the
net in Flash (was just the map so you could walk
around it) Dunno if thats still up there as i no
longer have a link, nor do i remember who was working
on it, but like most of the AR projects they seemed to
have alot of steam and updates early and then not get
finished. Did the Palm port ever get finished?

I still hold out hope Phillip Price will finish the
project he is/was working on or get another company
intrested in resurecting AR

I can't think of the last time i have sent two
messages to the list in the same month.
