Downloads
Available on this site is a snapshot of the source and the binaries built from that snapshot. The files are available from the JFBuild download area. Here is the README file packaged in the binary and source archives for more details on what you need.
Head to the new downloads area for links to the files.
You will need both the binaries and game data archives to run the port. Extract both archives to the same location on your harddisk.
The game data is the property of Ken Silverman. You can get the original source that this port is based off from Ken's site.
Bugs
I'm slowly squashing them and I've found things to be very stable now, however there may still be issues, and if you have any I'd appreciate hearing about them. Send me as much information about your computer, and what I need to do to reproduce any errors.
Contacting Me
I can be contacted via email at jf@jonof.id.au. I welcome and encourage any bug reports or suggestions for improvement.
