I have looked at ETERNAL2, and it has these sizes:

	eternal.doc	1753
	eternal.prg	 703
	confgram.tos	6087

Umm, I've just noticed it called ETERNAL, not ETERNAL2.  However, pressing
on...  In the doc file it says:

        (c) Robert Fischer and OSS, 1986.

When running the configuration program, CONFGRAM, it comes out with Robert's
address in Hamden, CT.  Eternal itself puts up 2 bombs...

This version of ETERNAL came on a floppy that was stuck to the front of
a magazine called ST/Amiga Format.
