Hello Judges! 

The x2ftp game competition is a little bit late. We have virus-checked _almost_
all the material, and now it is your turn to start work. We will finish 
the elimination round 2 as soon as possible, but we have no more time to
spare! Let the elimination round 3 begin!

You will find the programs in /pub/msdos/programming/contest-directory sorted 
by category.
 
The rules (by Jouni Miettunen, whereever he is now..) say:
"We try to give  feedback for each  entry.  In the  first round we tell
privately, why the entry was  disqualified and try to suggest possible
changes to make it acceptable. In the second round we give privately a
short review of  the entries and suggest  ways of improvement.  In the
third round we make publicly available long reviews about the winners."

Now it is Your turn to make this happen. Make a short review of the programs.
Tell what is new, tell what was old, tell if something is shamelessly ripped 
from another game, tell, what you think is worth of more developing work!
To make the final ranking easier to calculate, use following format 
in your replies:

			  budget? Don't give full 5 stars too easily!)
	IMPLEMENTATION: (number between 1 and 5. Does the game work? Does it 
			 give an  professional impression? Is it fast or good
			 enough?)
	COMMENTS: ...   (What made you to decide the number of the stars.
			We need your comments about playability, special

You can send all the entries evaluated in a same mail. We calculate the 
final results and put all the comments together.			

Use all the time you need, but we have our internal deadline of _ASAP_.

We will inform the judges and sponsors of the situation periodically, as soon 
as the first results arrives. 

IMPORTANT: If you are unable to do your job, please inform us immediately.
	  
There are some impressive masterpieces among the entries.

Have fun, and remember, there are people waiting for results out there :-/ .
