MorphOS: OpenTTD 0.3.5

- [Network] Chat
- Custom currency settings
- Per-station vehicle lists
- More realistically sized catchment areas
- Sticky windows
- Even better support for new grf-files
- Implement improved vehicle loading algorithm
- Even more advanced in-game console (press ^ to open it)
- OpenTTD runs with the grf files of the DOS version
- [Big Endian Systems (MacOS, MorphOS, LinuxPPC)]: are able to load savegames by TTD(Patch)

- And many, many more things....
If you want to know the complete list of changes then have a look at ChangeLog
which the archive contains.

Comments:
- Currently the "Dedicated Server"-support (OpenTTD -D) does not work with Amiga TCP/IP-stacks.
But the game itself can create a normal server. Games between Windows, Linux, MacOS and
MorphOS are possible without any problems.
- The Amiga68k-support in the source code possibly is not working because of the
many changes. Christian Rosentreter (karibu@gmx.net) himself cannot test the new code
under 68k and therefore he asks for feedback and diff-files to be able to fix existing
problems in the new network code.
