	I've seen it. It comes on two disks which says "please copy"
	The demo is so impressive I made a copy just to show off my machine.
	In fact, it is *SO* impressive I'll probably buy a copy of the 
	game even though I don't usually like arcade style games.

	The game has a control panel so you can save games and select
	difficulty level. There is also, for those into self-punishment,
	a FLIP option so that branches are randomly flipped from their
	standard orientation. I.e. You went left at this point last time.
	Left may not be the same this time...

	It also can be installed on a hard-disk. If it didn't, I wouldn't
	buy it.

	Yes, the demo does need 3MB. So does software development... :-)

>Does anyone want to put it up to an FTP site?
	Sorry. No can do. Walk into your dealer with two blank disks.
