Ok, I've fixed that now.

Well I'm actually calling it "Serial Stratego", which is a different
name. I need to have "stratego" in there somewhere so that people
will know what the game is. I don't think that Milton Bradley would
have a problem with this title, and I know of some authors who have
written nice mac stratego shareware games, and they haven't come
across any legal problems. Anyways, I don't think that this will be
a problem. If you are still concerned, please let me know.

DESCRIPTION
Allows people to play Stratego, a popular board game, over a
serial connection. Gameplay can take place over a null modem
connection, Modem, or while logged onto a remote host using
Internet Relay Chat, talk, or write. The program is unique in
that it uses a robust packet sending algorithm which transmits
and receives packets using standard printable characters, and
filters out screen escape codes. During game play, messages
may be sent, and optionally played through the SPEAK: device.
Be sure to skim the documentation before trying the program.
New Features added to this version:
- Sound effects.
- CRC Error detection.
- Save game and recover after disconnections.
- Some minor problems have been fixed.
DISTRIBUTABILITY
May be distributed freely. I would be honored to have this
placed on a Fish Disk. The program may not be sold to make
a profit.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
Runs on any OS. Uses the SPEAK: device, but this is not a
requirement.
DIRECTORY
Found on aminet sites such as ftp.cdrom.com in the directory
pub/aminet/game/2play
FILENAME
SerStratego.lha 105804 bytes long.
PRICE
