- There was a file called Makefile which came along with the executable. This
- file was not a "real" Makefile, but instead, a list of instructions of how to
- get the game up and running.

-
- In order to support games on my site for public use, I have to have the
- source-code. It is a matter of policy.

- Look Toughguy, I wasn't looking for a way around the priveleges. I figured
- that perhaps someone out there might have a version of Conquest in which they
- changed the way it ran from a common memory block to an event file system. And
- if they did, to please tell me how to do it myself, or, send me their
- source-code. In anycase, I put a smiley-face at the end of my post, because I
- knew people like you wouldn't quite understand what I was asking for.
-
- You are totally out of line, Mister! I don't know where you get off with such
- an attitude but you best deal with your frustrations elsewhere.
