I know about Diablo.  It is a *wonderful* game, and VERY non-free.  It
is a commercial product by Classic Image.  The copyright on the floppy
claims 1986 by Extended Software Co.  What a shame that it is getting
ripped off: not copy protected, and a truly neat game.  Wasn't even
very expensive if I rmember [although I've had it for a long time
now].  I only have the original floppy right here, I can try to find some of
the documentation and forward you things like the address of the folks that
released the game if you care.
