[Coco] Mocha

[Brad Grier]

Buzzard Bait is working on several pcs here. The Mocha code hasn't 
changed in a long time so it could be the version of Java you're running 
(although I'm also on the latest). It could be video drivers, etc as Sun 
added hardware acceleration to the graphics system over the years. There 
are properties to turn off acceleration but I'm not sure how to do that 
for an applet. I'll investigate.

Buzzard Bait...what a great game!
