Xconq 7.2.96 Snapshot Available

[Stan Shebs]

The accumulation of the last several months of hacking...  Civ2 works a lot
better, although on Mac research won't work, in fact you have to type in
'o' then "research nothing" just to get turns to go forward.

ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/xconq/Snapshots/xc7.2.96.tgz

Mac and Windows binaries to follow.

BTW, I've noticed massive archives of images that have been developed for
Civilization modpacks, for instance the Great Icon Library :-) at
http://www.c-o-p.com/gil , and many of those would be eminently suitable
for Xconq.  Just do a bit of scaling to fit in 32x32 or 64x64 sizes, some
cleanup, and voila, lots of color pictures!  I did that for the new
settlers.gif, worked out very nicely.  Don't do this on Microprose's
original images though!
