I've just sent an email out to someone I've met over at PlanetWeb (Andrew
Chiles, Assistant Producer, US DC Browser). He told me that he would help
me out with anything I wanted to know concerning the US browser. Even if it
doesn't support compressed VMI files (does anyone know if it does?), I'm
sure they've got some info on it, but whether or not he'll give it to me is
another story. It could be encrypted, too, and it would defeat the purpose
just to hand the method over, as we would be able to edit our high scores
for Tokyo Extreme! (wow...)

At the very least, I could do the Nexus thing. That way, we all could get
our heads into it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... I've had these fantastic visions of thorough PDF help
files and such. Now, where did I put all that spare time I had lying
around... :P
