They claimed they would soon offer an upgrade to a MF-friendly, non-copyprotected version. I have yet to see that offer, and it has been a while.) The new version is available - it was sent to me a month or so ago when my original got trashed because the game hung. Perhaps if you were to call them again, they might send it to you. The replacement version uses a lookup table when you start the game - it prompts you with a set of three symbols, etc. Not the easiest thing to navigate, but if it's a choice between that and copy-protection... The table is printed on a sort of burgundy- coloured paper to discourage photocopying. Tony.
