It's a confidential car so you will have to rely on the movie files to see how it works. Jorge sent me an updated JOCOSA, link to the sources is below. Thanks to everyone who replied to my little poll. I've just switched ISP's and the new one has a more complete Usenet feed that includes the relevant comp.ai groups. As soon as everything is in order, I'll be doing some announcements about RARS.
