Welp, I seem to have caused a little confusion with my previous vague
posting.  Here goes an attempt at a fix:
 
simtel is short for the ftp site wsmr-simtel20.army.mil.  if you don't
know what ftp is, you're hopeless.  wsmr stands for white sands
missle range.  it is a huge database of programs, documentations, etc.
WARNING: I have heard (and tend to believe) that simtel is the
busiest ftp site in the world!  I was only able to log on as anonymous
at 4 in the morning EST.
The ftp number for simtel is 26.2.0.74.
 
Deathmall 3000 is a hypercard stack/game.  It looks really neat.
The artwork is very nice.  Basically, you return to the Earth
in the year 3000 after a spaceship mishap a la Planet of
the Apes.  You have this abandoned mall to explore and play
around in.  The only flaw is you can never save the game!  But this
is not the programmer's fault, but the fault of Hypercard.
hope this clears up any questions
