	I doubt anyone left at MicroLeague could even find the source code
to the original, let alone enhance it!
	MicroLeague bought Pure-Stat so they could bring out MLB 3 next
year.  Bascially use Pure-Stat's games and add a few new features to it.
I've seen the source code for the Atari, IBM, and Mac versions and basically
there are just a mess.  It would be easier to reprogram the thing from 
start.
	By the way, Pure-Stat Baseball is no longer being sold!  (I am sure
	you could find a copy on some store shelf somewhere thou.)

PS  The differences between MLB I and MLB 2 are very little.  The engine is
still the same!  The improved stats are NOT used in the outcome of the play.
