Now that GeoCities is supposed to have closed, I am delighted to
announce my new website, the Spectrum-section of which is at:
http://abroad.sqweebs.com/spectrum/

I have just reissued all my Spectrum-software (Manic Miner/Jet Set
Willy games and utilities), making it available for download at:
http://abroad.sqweebs.com/spectrum/software/

Games:
* Manic Miner 4 [1997] (Special Edition 2003)
* Manic Miner: The Buddha of Suburbia [1998] (Special Edition 2003)
* Jet Set Willy: 1.WE PRETTY [1999]
* Manic Miner: The Hobbit / Jet Set Willy: The Lord of the Rings
[2000]
* Jet Set Willy: 2.GOODNITE LUDDITE [2002]
* Manic Miner: Ma jolie [2003] (Special Edition 2009)
* MM/JSW box-set: Party Willy [2004] (Special Edition 2007)
* Manic Miner: Neighbours – Allana Truman [2004]
* JSW64 Manic Miner: James Bond [2007–2009] (v1.1)
* JSW64: Flash Manic Miner [with Matthew Gordon, 2008] (v1.0)

Game-editors:
* Manic Miner Screen Editor [1998–2003] (v1.0.1)
* Jet Set Willy Construction Kit [2003] (v1.0)

Java toolkit:
* SPECSAISIE [2000–2003] (v1.2)

By "reissued", I mean that the software itself is completely
unchanged, but I have updated the documentation to refer to my new
website and fix all the broken links. I have proofread and edited all
the README.TXT and TECHNICAL.TXT files, and converted my patches in
all of the latter to hexadecimal, making them easy to type into
JSWED's hex-editor.

My plans for the future are detailed on the above section of my
website. I hope to get back into MM/JSW editing in the near future,
but right now I'm facing a major crisis that could either leave me
free for MM/JSW in November, or could easily claim all my MM/JSW time
until mid-2010.

The projects I would prioritise are:
1. the JSW64 game currently identified only as H*****;
2. SPECSAISIE v1.3 (Beta 5 has been available from the Files section
of the Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy Yahoo! Group <http://
groups.yahoo.com/group/manicminerandjetsetwilly/> since September
2007, but a gamma-release is long overdue);
3. Advanced MM/JSW Trainer, which was my top priority until it stalled
at beta-release v0.1.0 in May 2006.

P.S. You may find that my new site is down from time to time, although
Sqweebs claims that it is up approximately 99% of the time. When it
does go down, it usually comes back up within a couple of minutes.
