I suspect that to find whatever InfoCom products are still stocked, one would need to contact MediaGenic: MediaGenic/Activision 3480 Bohannon Drive Menlo Park, CA 94025 415-329-0500 It would be interesting to know whether they still have any InfoCom stuff! -- Andreas Meyer ameyer%nsscb@ulysses.att.com ..!att!ulysses!nsscb!ameyer #include Rip-stop nylon: How does it know?!
