I'm assuming that you're referring to my particular implementation of the
"Bug World" cocept, since we've exchanged emails in the past.

The honest answer is; I don't know. By "fixed", I assume you mean "runs
correctly on all platforms". It seems to run okay here, but I've received
reports that it encounters problems on other machine/operating systems. If
people are willing to test the program on their own machines and report any
failures back to me, I'll be happy to *try* and find some time to work on a
portable version. In the meantime, a (hard-copy) report is available from
me at the address below, describing my implementation of the Bug World
system. Please, only request a copy if you're *really* interested in the
system, since the electronic version has been lost and copying/mailing
copious copies could get expensive.

Regards,

Martyn
