Real life's catching up with me again- the summer term is hardly over, but my pay job calls for me once more. It'll be at least four weeks on the demi-dark side of software design & development ('open systems', i.e. technical specs and stuff, but not 'free software') until I can do something useful again.

Anyway, people interested in FreeSCI might want to check out the inofficial new graphics system demo page, which shows off some of the features and many of the bugs in the scalable pic resource renderer which is part of the new graphics subsystem.
Apparently, Lance Ewing (who is somewhat related to AGI research) wrote a similarly scaleable pic renderer for AGI a while back- maybe that'd be a nice addition to Sarien once they complete the transition to the new graphics engine.
