- It's in the "game" directory. It is worth noting that the program
- doesn't like to run under System 7 (at least not on my Quadra 700 :-(
- -- I believe somebody else said it ran, but a little quirkily), and as
- Mike Morton (its author) notes, it's not a "mac application" in the
- sense that it has no menus, etc.
-
- There was an article in comp.sys.mac.games (I think) just a couple
- days ago which included a personal correspondence from Mike Morton.
- He said, among other things, that you should ignore the request for a
- shareware fee. He is satisfied with what he has received already.
-
- If you are still interested in contacting him, he gave an email
- address. I *think* it was morton@proponent.com, but you should check
- c.s.m.g to be sure. Checking there would prevent you from asking some
- question that he only very recently answered, too.
