   Just a posting to any and all netters interested in PC hack ... it is now
running on an IBM PC (thanks, Bill), and we are working out the bugs.  Please
be patient - Hack isn't my whole life :-) and sometimes I just don't have the
time to work on it as much as I'd like.  I don't know if we will distribute
the sources or not - the IBM version uses ANSI.SYS and should be portable to
any generic MS/DOS machine.  A little compensation (Cerveza Corona is O.K.)
for our efforts would be greatly appreciated ... any takers?  Since I'm not
in the micro software business, I don't as yet have a good feel for how to
go about distributing this - mail me any suggestions you have.  The idea of
"free-ware" or "share-ware" really appeals to me - i.e. voluntary contributions
to encourage further development of the game.

And now a question - why does I/O seem to run slower when the user is playing
in wizard mode?

Again - thanks for the interest in our efforts - don't hold your breaths,
we're doing the best we can.  (The comments in Dutch don't help, either. :-))

     Happy Hacking, Carl  (carl@ncr-tp)
