The file is called TETRIS.ZIP, and contains CGA and EGA versions, as well as a memory resident version. I downloaded this and tried it out. It appears, as best I can tell, to be a pirated copy of the commer- cial TETRIS program. I got rid of my copy, and I would urge others to do the same. For a legitimate, free TETRIS-like program, try "/c/bin3/nyet.zip" on grape.ecs.clarkson.edu (anonymous FTP). I picked up NYET some time back, and it is quite challenging (but doesn't have the nice pictures). -- Rich Wales // UCLA Computer Science Department 3531 Boelter Hall // Los Angeles, CA 90024-1596 // +1 (213) 825-5683 "Mr. Scott, since we are here, your statement is not only illogical, but unworthy of refutation."
