Yes, I did find that list, but it is unordered. For instance the 
Hellmouth world, which is supposed to be the 2nd, is in the middle of 
the list.

Okay. The problems I found so far are primarily pingus reacting 
strangely on mouseclicks.
- If a builder is asked to block then he falls down from the bridge 
instead of blocking.
- Is it intended that a blocker (in contrast to the original lemmings) 
kan receive any new order and hence is easily stopped from blocking?
- Is it intended that pingus can receive orders while in pause mode - so 
that it is possible to i.e. start two diggers simultainously by pausing 
the game and clicking on two pingus?
- I also find the distinction between bridges and backgrounds to not 
always work as expected. I need to de some more testing before I can be 
more specific, though.

Oh, and I just tried running the binary version with some cvs levels.
"Error caught from Pingus: PingusError: Loading of plf's no longer 
supported"
This is really strange because the program is older than the levels, so 
I must admit that I do not understand a "no longer supported" error here?
