 Adam, as long as Parallax is watching this group (which is great), I
have a wish or two for Descent:
   The ability to 'auto-level' with a keystroke.  For instance, I normally
run with auto-levelling off because it screws up my orientation. But
every so often I come into a room where I'd like to level the ship off.
So I'd like to be able to hit a key the will orient the ship with the
nearest surface below me, but leave auto-levelling off after that.
   Second wish: Descent runs great in an OS/2 DOS Window, but when I
go to view the map, Descent changed screen modes to a mode that isn't
supported in an OS/2 Window.  I have to alt-home to full screen, view the
map, then alt-home back to the window (alt-home is an OS/2 keystroke for
switching back and forth to full screen/window within a DOS session).
Why the change in video modes ?
   How about some gravity ? Or do all the ships have antigravity generators
built in ? :-)
   The graphics engine is incredible!!  Any chance of having a game
with a person running the halls / climbing ladders/ jumping off bridges/
whatever - there's so many possibilities.  Any plans for games using this
engine in the future ?
