Re: [Rails-devel] Version 1.7.0 has stopped working

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Mike:
could you please send me game files for both occasions:

A) Where Rails 1.7.0 behaves badly and closes all windows.
B) Where revenue calculation for diesels and other trains is skewed.

In a recent post to the list I already listed a few UI bugs in 1.7.0 
which are most-likely side-effects from Frederick's new code, I quote 
those below.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Stefan

PS: Test games are (usually) version-independent. There are many test 
cases still used ranging back into 1.3 versions.
