For a while now I’ve been keeping a Git mirror of bah.mod updated on GitHub. I’ve now moved this repository from my account to the BlitzMaxModules organization. Aside from bah.mod I’m now also mirroring rigz.mod and maxgui.mod. If there are any other Subversion hosted BlitzMax modules you want to see mirrored on GitHub let me [...]
