I've tried mailing him too, with no luck.  I would be interested in 
joining a development team if one ever came into being.  The game
really deserves a major rewrite and some enhancements.  I compiled it
not too long ago, and although its somewhat painful to play, its 
very refreshing after the monochrome feel of Nethack.

(Don't get me wrong - I'm an avid nethack player.  Its just that sometimes
I feel that 99% of the monsters could be replaced by a single letter
'M' (monster), and half the items could be thrown out with no loss (or
gain) to the gameplay.)
