I went through the DM and CSB dungeons using your CSB Build to find out the timers attached to all the monster generators. This was to give to George Gilbert so that he can make the RTC versions of those dungeons more accurate.

I just wanted to check that these are completely accurate? I spent some time a while back looking at this manually. I determined that the increment for each change in byte value (8th byte of each generator) leaps in large amounts at key points. Has this been taken into account, or are you just using a basic function which assumes that every byte equates to say, 6 ticks?

(Does that make sense!!??)

I hope that I did it right. I think that I did it
right. Here is the original code with my translation:

Means nothing to me! I'll take that as a Yes then! :-) Thanks.
