The latest release of ColEm for OS/2 can be obtained at:
    http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Pines/2281

The following updates are in ver 0.41:
 o Improved performance over 100%
 o New frame throttling routines
 o Added menu bar w/New Game, Game Help, and ColEm help options
 o No longer reset frame rate info between games
 o Fixed Joystick/keypad conflict
 o Updated keyboard mapping to support both player's numeric keypads

Version 0.40 of Colem would produce 25fps on my system in a 256 color window.
Verison 0.41 produces 74fps!  Because of the increase in performance, new
frame rate throttle routines have been added.
