I was the person that RE-started this thread, and I admit that I did not 
mention the fact that Psygnosis said that future versions would have a
code wheel.  

It was not my intention to misinform, but I realize that I did a disservice 
to those who did not have access to the blurb from ".Info".  I apologize.

Still, I find it hard to believe that if the key-disk version of Lemmings
doesn't sell, Psygnosis is going to bend over backwards to produce a 
code-whell protected version.  I also find it hard to believe that the 
key-disk version was that much faster to produce (cheaper maybe, but faster?).
I admit that I don't know alot about producing and distributing computer
games, but I'm still skeptical.  I hope I am wrong.
