This is a weird one, but I'm looking for a progrm that I wrote about
four years ago while at HP Laboratories and posted to the net.  It
was a backgammon program (with a horrible interface, but interesting
playing strategy) and I think it was called, with startling originality,
"gammon".  I know that the strategy section of the game was ripped
out and added to "Xgammon", so it must be *somewhere* out there.  :-)

IF you can dig the package up for me, please drop me a note and I'll
then let you know if I've been swamped with other offers already or
not. (yes, it's a ploy to avoid getting 1000 lines * 50 responses
overfilling my mailbox!)

Thanks for your assistance on this matter: please only responses
via email too, as I don't read any of these newsgroups regularly.

				Muchas gracias!!
