   Anyone have any documentation of AfterDark module formats period?  It
   would be niftier to make *those* runnable rather than simply converting
   the fish files for xfish.  Ah, to see Spock mind-melding a Horta on
   my X terminal... 8-).

And the NetAudio extension yelling "Pain!  Pain!"  :-)

The technical challenges there would be interesting.  Do you know if
Berkeley Systems have done a nice API for audio and graphics from a
module?  Instinct says yes since they run AfterDark on everything from
Macintoshes to PeeCees.  Don't they also make said API available?  A
lot of the modules are contributed, and it would be difficult to write
one without such info.  I must take a look at my copy of AfterDark and
possibly ask Berkeley a few questions, after all I'm probably one of
the few people that _BUYS_ it, that should count for something I'd
hope... :-)
