So does mine.  So I called Delta Tao about this, and they said that the
latest version is 1.1.2.

When I first opened the package it came it, I was nearly scared half to
death seeing this CD box, and thinking that I had just purchased one of
those new CD-rom games, and I don't have a player!  After looking closer
there is a sign on the box that says it uses a 800k disk, but I can see
that if this box was put on a store shelf, people might pass it up at
first glance as a CD-rom game.  Otherwise, I like it because it's small,
neat, and doesn't take up so much room on my shelf.

But it's an absolutely fantastic game that has kept me from getting any
work done at nights now.  It's a lot more interesting than any other
games of this sort, including Strategic Conquest 2.0 (haven't tried 3.0),
while a lot of the small, tedious details that can plague other games have
been dealt so they don't slow up the game.

Now, back to my game...
