Excellent...  downloading it now and looking forward to more great fun (I got 6 advanced external defence systems for the first time just now...  it makes the game quite straightforward once you get past 3 or so)

Orz, thank you for your reply; you are most likely correct; the version I have is not stacktraced within ggob. 

I got the version I got from the last mirror in this thread; for whatever reason I have been unable to connect to your ftp server; I keep getting connection closed by remote host. 

I am beginning to suspect I missed something I need to authenticate with your ftp server.  I will keep working on it.

Hey, just found this...  I used to love playing gob back when it worked in tw; kept a version where gob worked for about a year after it broke in tw just to play it, until I lost that version in a hard drive crash.  I had totally forgotten how much fun it is!  Thanks, orz!

I do have a couple questions:

Twice now my game has died fairly far into the game ( > 4000 seconds) with the following error:

Ack(1)!!!
An error occured in the game
But I don't know what error
  melee\mgame.cpp:211
called from melee\mgame.cpp: 537
called from scp.cpp: 407
called from scp.cpp: 636
called from scp.cpp: 629

Which is something to do with new ship creation, but my attempts to compile to try to isolate it further have not thus far been successful.

Anyhow, I don't know to what degree you are supporting gob versus just allowing us to play a great game that you enjoy writing, but wanted to pass along what I have seen.

Thanks again!
