Ah yes... Yuma Arizona, "Hell's Lobby" and that just for the summer temperatures :-)

I recall Marathon by John Fraysse (sp?). I took the daunting task of typing it all in, it was an extra-long listing but well worth the effort; more than that, it also worked as a very well documented tutorial on ML routines and their integration to a Basic program. I never did enter its predecessor to my CoCo stuff: Rainbow Roach, perhaps when I get my hands on that particular Rainbow issue.
