   Well, you missed part of them.  But not all have been posted. 
Furthermore, as with all material, the most recent versions are best
available from uwasa.fi archives directory /pc/ts (and Simtel20, of
course).  Be warned, though :-).  All my games have an educational
flavor, and one may end up inadvertently learning something.  
   If you want to get programs from uwasa.fi archives (by anonymous
ftp, or if you can't, by our mail server), and don't know how to do
it, just email me for the prerecorded instructions.  (Incidentally
you are not using Simtel20 listserver correctly, but Keith has
explained that in another message, as far as I recall.)
   We decided with Bill that the rest of my games will not be posted
in c.b.i.p.d, because they are available by these alternative means. 
There is so much traffic and material for Bill to process as it is. 
   (A further general note for downloaders.  If you have anonymous
ftp, DON'T use the mail server! And if you use anonymous ftp to
uwasa.fi, consider using the automatic /unix/ts/batchftp102.tar.Z. 
It is more cost effective and besides it is more convenient for you,
once you get used to it.)
