[Kde-games-devel] Hope for Kolf

What?  Nobody awake? (see below) ... :-)

Well it is 7:45 am Sunday here in the land of Oz and I think
I have the answer to Kolf's problems ... :-) :-) :-)

That is definitely ONE major problem.  I hope there are no others.

I can now get Kolf to run with more than one hole in Simple Course,
using KDE 4.3 and Qt 4.5.

Now to send the results to Pathology ... i.e. I must look at WHY my
2-line fix works and whether there may be any other nasties in the
Kolf code that could cause it to fail again.

I'll keep you posted ... :-) :-) :-)
