I think, but am by no means certain (so please back up your files), that if
you delete 
"fame.ini" you will clear the high scores.

BTW, I have always been mystified by the way the scores are calculated.  All
of
my highest scores have been achieved with all possible opponents at maximum 
"smartness" in huge galaxies, but the conditions under which I've won those
games have varied widely.  Also, I would have thought that the scores would 
have been normalized somehow for the galaxy size, but as far as I can see that
is not the case.

Subj: MAME for OS/2 version .36 beta 5 has been released!

From: Marty <mamodeo@stny.rr.com>

The OS/2 port of MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) has been upgraded
to version .36 beta 5.  The DOS and Windoze guys must not have wanted me to
catch up, but I've done it again.  ;-)

MAME runs 1785 classic and some not so classic arcade games of the 70's,
80's, and 90's from the comfort of your OS/2 desktop.

This upgrade includes a few minor bugfixes as well as an updated MAME core.

For more information and to download the latest version, visit
http://emuos2.davesvgc.com.  There is a Pentium optimized as well as a 486
optimized version available.

Enjoy!

- Marty
