According to the author, there will be no Hugo v1.3. The new version will be 2.0
and will feature precompiled headers, expanded character-scripting features, and
some other not inconsequential goodies which I've nevertheless forgotten now. As
for graphics capability, I can't answer (maybe Kent can answer himself--are you
out there Kent?), but I'm sure text-only games will still be possible in v2.0.
They'd better be, anyway <g>.

The new version is due out posthaste. Keep an eye on this newsgroup for the
notice.
