Hi crossfire folks,
  long time no write :-)

I'm happy to announce that the java client has been updated, so that it is
now semi-usable with a v1.0 server.

It's also a little friendlier when it comes to keyboard input, now.

Okay, it still has some "issues" to be worked out :-/
But I fixed the really big issue, in that I fixed my Xpm
class to read xpms that have colors indexed by #xxxxxx, instead of
only by english names like "gray33". So now all the images should actually
display!!

I think its neat that you can play a game like crossfire through java, so I
wanted to "keep the dream alive" :-)
If anyone wants to make an applet to go with a public crossfire server
they are running, gimme a holler (to the email listed on the web page,
 if you want fast response)

As the web page says, there are still a few features lacking. But if people
give me an occasional nudge, I'll get around to em. 
I just wanted to release this initial update before I lapsed into a coding
coma again :-)
