No, I think you mean "tree".

This isn't completely true.  With the latest versions of Bolo (0.99.5 and
up, I believe) there is something called "BrainFrame" that is intended to
be a sort of application interface to Bolo using the PPC toolbox to aid in
debugging brains.  Using this, it is possible to have a sort of "viewer"
app, which is what "Bolo 3D" was.

I think those files can only be read by Armorued Allianceu on a PC running
Windows '95.

I have found that increasing one's intake of HoHo's can actually
*increase* the effect of gravity, without paying extra for additional
use.  Likewise for Twinkies and even more so for Ding-Dongs.

Actually, this is incorrect.  The correct spelling is, in fact, "BOO!!!". 
This was a "hidden feature" in 0.99.2 (not sure if it still works with
0.99.7) where if you sent the message "BOO!!!" to "Selection on Players
Menu" (radio button in Message box) with no players selected in the
"Players" menu while emerging from the trees behind a pillbox, you would
instantly kill the pillbox (presumably "scare" it to death).  This was
nearly impossible to pull off, which I think is the way Stuart intended
it, as it was really just in there as a joke, or secret Easter egg, and
was not really meant to be easily discovered.  I believe xav was the first
to discover it, and I don't think even he could pull it off consistently. 
The best I was ever able to do was about 1 time in 100 success rate.  Of
course, I'm sure there is some schmuck out there who will claim they can
do it 47 out of 48 times consistently.
