I sent a tape to PSL when he worked at Lucasfilm (about 18 months ago).
I received his 'games' distribution 6 months later.

While some people have employers who let them spend all day working/playing
on various games (empire, etc), others have to work for a living, including
PSL (perhaps).

Give the guy a chance, he is doing YOU a favor.

Now for the good news.  I have YAEP (Yet Another Empire Program).  Essentailly,
it is PSL's empire with LOTS of bugs fixed, and several new features (bugs?).
I have asked him if he will allow me to distribute it, (that was a month ago),
and I have not heard anything yet.

If anyone is interested in receiving my hacked up version, send me uucp mail.
When Peter Langston gets back to me, I'll let you know what the story is.
