|  We've got a mess of new ports for y'all. First,    |:-[rfk news)   
|  Steve Pomeroy has provided a port for Android.     |:-[software)
|  Now you can play rfk on your phone. But as if      |:-[submit a port)
|  that weren't enough, Jonathan Moscardini           |:-[screenshots)
|  thought it was necessary for you to be able to     |:-[download)
|  play rfk on your Zune -- say, when you were        |:-[the source)
|  playing on your phone but then you got a call.     |:-[lists)
|  Oh! But then, you needed to play some different    |:-[devteam)
|  music, what now? Fortunately, Ander D'Nar wrote    |:-[contact info)
|  an rfk for the TI-8x series of calculators! Now    |`-[afterword)
|  you can keep finding for kitten no matter what!    |

|  Thomas Thurman has brought robotfindskitten to the |              
|  Nokia Internet Tablet world! Now robot will have   |              
|  no trouble finding kitten anywhere he goes. (Also, |              
|  I imagine robot playing the Nokia tune as he       |              
|  powers up.) Way to go, Thomas!                     |

|  Derek Graham has brought us one of the most        |              
|  unique ports to date -- a version of rfk for       |              
|  the MIT Scratch visual programming                 |              
|  environment. I'll let Derek's blurb for his        |              
|  version speak for itself. Make sure that you       |              
|  check out the visual source code.                  |

|  to its idiosyncratic humour) quite fun lo-fi       |              
|  adventure-oid with some similarities to            |

|  ... and a new POSIX implementation to coincide     |              
|  with rfk finally getting a new Debian              |

|  There's a lot of news around here -- first of      |              
|  all, we have a new POSIX code base that will       |              
|  be released soon as a tarball and a debian         |              
|  package. The new POSIX code allows for NKI         |              
|  to be in external flat files, rather than          |              
|  compiled in statically. The new is a rewrite       |              
|  by Alexey Toptygin, and the developers just        |              
|  voted to accept it yesterday.                      |

|  robotfindskitten has been ported to QNX by the     |              
|  indomitable Jeremy Penner!                         |

|  Yep, leonardr was right... well, actually it was   |              
|  the talk about a robotfindskitten port for QNX     |              
|  that really broke the camels back. But the         |              
|  point is, there are a LOT of new versions of       |              
|  rfk that have not been getting the press they      |              
|  deserve. These include: Java, Commodore 64,        |              
|  Apple ][, AmigaOS, Inform as well as the           |              
|  usual suspects, POSIX, PalmOS, Dreamcast, and      |              
|  the CGI implementation. Work has begun on the      |              
|  Atari 2600 version, and shady voices speak of      |              
|  a TRS-80 edition. See most of this and more        |              
|  at our software page.                              |

|  1.27.03 -- robotfindskitten.org overhaul -- pedro  |

|  We're doing an overhaul of the site to include     |              
|  all the many ports that have come out in the       |              
|  past... ahem... two years. Sorry folks.            |

|  Hopefully this will also engender a new POSIX      |              
|  release to coincide with the freshening of rfk,    |              
|  and a few new ports on the horizon.                |
