Yay! (both for the return of Ihab and his improvements).
I have seen the new version (made with Restorator) and it fixes what
were for me two annoying deficiencies with the (otherwise great)
game. I'm more ambivalent regarding the alternate graphics; too much
cyan - the water and ground don't stand out and crystal looks too
much like ice. Movers and rotary mirrors are much improved though.
Each to their own and it is of little consequence as long as the user
can always choose their default graphics.
I've recommended to Ihab that he approach Donald to see whether it
can be used as the official version (perhaps 4.1.3?).
