	Could someone please give a description of M.U.L.E.? I keep hearing 
about this game but don't know what it is.

	While this is a very interesting happening, it doesn't seem that
amazing to me that it takes up 1/8 of a 3.5" disk, like I told you in mail.
There must have been a lot of work done in the conversion, OBVIOUSLY, but it 
would seem logical that it'd be about the same size as the original on the 
Apple II. A 140K disk is roughly 1/8 of an Amiga disk. (880K I believe)
And since the 68000 instructions can do more per instruction than the 6502,
it seems I'm being reasonable in my assumptions.

	That's really cool to hear about though. Now we just need a GS
specific version.. or at least an old version being hacked to run off of a
3.5" disk.
