to mr. Donald:
for daily visitors to the Lasertank group, (like myself, although i
haven't been all that involved recently) receiving all the new
lasertank level files and high scores on such a sporadic and frequent
basis can be somwhat tedoius; so much so that i don't even bother
with downloading them anymore (maybe once a month). I agree with the
idea of setting one day a month to post levels and high schores. This
way not only does it give LT fans something to look forward to each
month, but also establishes an order toward these updates. This
doesn't force you to do all the work at a certain point in the month
either. If you prefer you could compile the files as often as you
wish; just post the latest GHS/LVL update at a date such as the 1st
or something. I am sure that every member of this group (like myself)
is very appreciative of your work and dedication to Lasertank, and
this is a good opportunity to make things a little bit easier for
yourself and others.

the latest update is downloadable on the web site, and if you
download it, you can forget the 3 previous updates because all the
changes are contained in the latest.

download all of them.

when I add new levels to a levels file, and as long as a these new
levels have no score, everybody send their LPB files for these
levels, but when I update the GHS file then suddenly I receive less
LPB files, because they send them to me only when they beat the
current high score for these levels.

imagine how much LPB files I would received. Just for the Challenge-
II.lvl file, i have received 1336 LPB files, between july 4 and
today. If there hadn't been any updates between july 4 and today, I
think that the number of LPB would have been the double.

have to wait till the end of the month to do all the work that I
normally do almost each day of the month.
