This is more a problem of extraneous output than one of missing files.
 None of these files exist in the actual tree, either.  The issue is
that the program loads the sprite frames of "name*.png" in numerical
order until it fails to find one, then it prints a warning and goes on
to the next sprite.  So, if we have tux0.png, tux1.png, and tux2.png,
it will print a warning that it couldn't find tux3.png.

I agree this is confusing.  I'll modify it so it only prints those
warnings if the program is run with the "-d" (debug) flag.

Um, does the program seem to work OK, apart from the warnings?

On a related note, I done a fair amount of additional work on tuxtype
in the last couple days and should soon have a 1.7.2, which addresses
a few more things:
- fix of crashing bug in fullscreen fish cascade game (from queueing
too many blits)
- inclusion of fonts required for rest of Indic languages
- correction of title graphic from "TuxType2" to "TuxType"
- same greeting chime sound as Tux Paint.
- LoadLang() now sets both LANG and LANGUAGE as well as setlocale().



Cheers,

David
