	Well, I thought you might like to hear out of the horse's
mouth that I will not be working on a PC version of Essence at least
until I get some developer's information from Impulse.  I spent about
1 man-month of effort on it, and got pretty close, but the textures
and/or ImaginePC would crash too frequently.  So this project has been
on hold for months now until I get some information.  (And boy was it
ugly what steps I had to perform to get that close!)

	As for Forge PC, there are currently no plans to port it.
Maybe if Essence PC got released, it might make sense to port Forge.
But we are making NO promises that *either* Essence PC *or* Forge PC
will ever be delivered.
