Hi,

Two bits of news. I've installed a new forum which is a bit more
glossy - you can edit your own posts, choose pictures and send
private messages. It will also be much easier to moderate for me.
The only downside is it appears to be a bit slower, but I'll try to
update the hardware at some point to speed this up.

I've also uploaded Release 27, which has the following changes:

Enhancements
============
o Added text functions:
Ucase(text) or Upper(text) - converts text to upper case
Lcase(text) or Lower(text) - converts text to lower case
Pcase(text) or Proper(text) - converts text to proper case
(Capitalised)
Left(text,length) - returns the <length> leftmost characters of text
Right(text,length) - returns the <length> rightmost characters of
text
Mid(text,start,length) - returns <length> characters of text,
starting at start
Instr(text,search) - returns the position of search within text
text & text or text + text - appends strings together

Bug Fixes
=========
o Modules: Importing variable "greater than" restrictions works
properly
o When Roomlist sorted alphabetically, map updates correctly
o Cancelling saving a game in Runner doesn't create blank .TAS file
o Adding rooms doesn't corrupt movement to roomgroups
o Objects marked as seen in initial room if on surfaces or in open
objects
o Taking objects from others updates player weight and bulk
o Task restrictions based on object state not corrupted by changing
states of other objects
o <bgcolor> now supports quotes around the Hex value
