Uh..?
I believe Papy-employee and GPL-designer Randy Cassidy have repetedly
mentioned that they are working on a patch in his post here.

No word on a date yet though.

Oooops, must have missed that on Edwin.  Could you share any more details?

When?
Maybe after the Daytona-happening?
Maybe after the Nascar 3 release (autumn 99?)? (Remember this is the
main project at Papyrus, and I guess this is where the moneybag is...).

-Nope, I hope it's in between these happenings somewhere, and a.s.a.p...

A month or so ago, Randy Cassidy (his name is in the credits when you
shutdown GPL) hinted that a patch was forthcoming, but he gave no
timeframe.  In three weeks, it will have been 5 months since GPL was
released.  

I hope it's released soon, and I hope they fixed some of the stuff that
kind of annoys me.  For instance, I'd LOVE to be able to join a remote
race through my linux gateway (right now, you can't), and it irritates
the hell outa me to see car #0 (and many of them) in a race.  

And why isn't there a paintkit available so that we can paint the cars?  

And why haven't we heard Papy's intentions concerning new carsets and
tracks? (Or could that be the reason the patch is being held up?)

None of us will know what will be fixed/added until the patch is
released...

I hazard to guess since Randy Cassidy (one of the GPL designers) has
mentioned it more than once here in r.a.s. and that it has an official
revision number (1.1), that the patch is done.  However, as past
practice, Sierra "QA" deems it necessary to wrap the patch up in one of
their pretty (useless at times) installation packages and then sits on
it for weeks while they test it on a machine or two....  Patience
grasshopper!
