While playing both PacWar and WIR on the weekend, I noticed that the map in WIR is scrollable without the mouse but the map in PacWar isn't. Given that both programs were written by Gary G. and both are currently being modified, is there any chance of introducing this enhancement to PacWar?

Larry,

I use the 'i', 'j', 'k', and 'm' keys to scroll the Pacwar map. You can also use the arrow keys for square by square movement. Are you looking for something beyond this?

Sorry Rich, I didn't express that very well. With WIR you can scroll the screen simply by moving the mouse to the edge of the map. It's not necessary to click on arrows or use any hot keys. Given the size of the PacWar map, it would certainly be a nice time saver. I was just wondering if it might be possible to simply 'transplant' a section of Gary's WIR code to Gary's PacWar code.

I'm pretty certain, Larry, that the programmer won't have time to implement the auto scroll feature. He is spending most of his time on the development of "War in the Pacific", and is currently only repairing major bugs in Pacwar.

you can scroll by clicking near the edge of the map with the mouse cursor.
