In an earlier posting, I asked whether anyone knew if Antic was still around.
Several kind persons told me that it most definitely was.  Now that I know
that Antic is still around, here's my real question.  Did Antic ever publish
a program called "Invasion?"  It was a Star-Raiders type game in which the
player moved a cursor using a joystick to blast alien ships coming out in 3-D.
The interesting part of the program was the 3-D starfield that used a DLI on
192 lines with 8 different levels of star movement.  I know all this, because
I wrote the program.  I submitted it to Antic over a year ago (last August),
and it was accepted for publication.  They said it would be published within
one year, and I would get payment upon publication.  Further, they said that
IF they did NOT publish it within a year, I would get a kill fee of $60.  As
I mentioned, it's been over a year and I've heard nothing from them.  I need
to know whether I should just sit tight and wait for them to contact me, or 
if I should contact them, and, of course, if the program has yet been
published.  Oh, and yes, I did sign a contract; the contract, however, made
no mention of the kill fee (that was in the cover letter they included).

Thanks in advance.  I've been waiting for over a year and my nerves are
getting frazzled!
