Here's a suggestion if you want to visit universes other than AW and
not hack an exe file. You just edit the aworld.ini file. It's a
nuisance but effective. Just edit or add the [universe] section and
use a semicolon in front of those universes you DON'T want to visit.
Here's an example:


[universe]
host=www.ultra-worlds.com
;host=193.186.168.183
;host=www.vectorscape.com
;host=www.seeray.com
;host=www.vmenta.com

As set, this ini file will take you to the Ameriworld Universe
(www.ultra-worlds.com). To go to AW, put a semicolon in front of every
host entry. Be sure to make a backup copy of the ini file and
contacts.txt before editing... just in case. Also, since the contacts
list refers to cit #s, they might be a little different in each
universe.

Happy universe hopping.
