This update fixes some stuff, among other things:

When your side or the AI side goes over the rout point limit the game
immediately finished instead of waiting until the end of the turn as
in Alex and Hannibal.

In light of recent  events perpetrated by  our so-called  competition, we at
CLASS PC would like to make a few things clear to you the end-user:

Over the past 2 days we have witnessed new heights of lameness - as 2 groups
who are  self-proclaimed  abiders of the  S.P.A. regulations chose  to break
those  very agreed  upon guidelines  while attempting to cover it up through
false claims that  a supposed final S.P.A. vote had  taken place as  well as
an agreement to usher in a new disk limit of 90 x 1.44MB disks.

This is  completely and  blatantly false.  Yes the  groups who  comprise the
S.P.A. committee  have  been and  still  are discussing the  possibility  of
raising the  disk limit.  Coincidentally this is  an  ammendment that  we at
CLASS PC  do NOT  and we  cannot possibly stress  how  stern we  are in  our
convictions  that we do NOT want  the limit raised  above 75 x 1.44MB disks.
The 2  above mentioned  groups would have  you believe that CLASS  voted YES
in the  supposed final vote  that  never took place, but  this is FALSE.  In
the preliminary  votes, we voted NO  and in the final  vote we will  vote NO
to the further degredation of the games scene.

The entire purpose of the CD-RIP games  scene is, was and always  will be to
deliver an end  product that is of a size that  can be easily downloaded and
played by  those who  do NOT have  high-speed  modem connections - while  at
the  same  time delivering  a product that  has  complete functionality  and
playability.  As the current limit  stands at  75 disks, we and  every other
group with any  miniscule amount of stripping/cracking knowledge can achieve
this ideal product.  There are roughly 5-10% of games put on the market that
cannot be released below this limit  with an appropriate  music  addon if so
requested.  Those 5-10% of games are games that  should either a) be bought,
thus  supporting  the  software  developers  we so  often  neglect  or b) be
downloaded in the fast growing, largely available ISO format.

It is in the best  interest of the end-users, siteops  and active groups  to
quash  this  proposition now, before  we all suffer blows in the  categories
of  quality rips  and quality  of software released.  We can safely say that
very  few if  any are  interested in 90  disk non-standalone  addons, or  in
a worst case scenario, 90 disk multimedia Mah-Jong or edutainment software.

We're sorry to  have  drawn this out  so long, but  there  is so much  to be
said as far as this issue goes.  In conclusion, we do  NOT condone a 90 disk
limit on game rips released.  We did NOT vote yes in the S.P.A. tallies.  We
will ALWAYS continue  to try our hardest to  bring you small game rips, with
functionality  and playability intact - along  with appropriate  addons.  We
understand  that  the  vast  majority of  you are  on  56k or  slower  modem
connections, and you deserve to be able to download the software you want in
a reasonable  amount  of time.  Those of  you  who can  afford faster  links
should  look  to  the  future, to  ISOs for  those  5-10% of  games that  go
unreleased  because  they cannot  fit in 75 x 1.44MB archives.  Take time to
reflect  on  the  above  presented  issue, and make  it  known to  all  your
favorite game release groups that you are  all-for  the preservation  of the
games scene, hence you are against raising the disk limit at this time.
