Jordan
this is why I made the 'floppies' directory
WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY do you INSIST on not using it?
it DOESN'T require 
a Make release (which most people can't do) only a "Make world"
(and vn support) (or floppy I guess)

it's fallen WAY WAY WAY out of date because I can't spend the time
keeping the crunch config file up to date 
with your continued changes but it always works fine for me wheneve I
check it.. 

why do you keep perpetuating this  "impossible to use"
 (for most people) feature?
