yes, i know, i have two versions, AI Systems, and Epyx.  they are both
OK as far as rogue versions go, but compared to what is available now,
there are a lot better.

did i say that?  mental short circuit.

that wasn't a distribution, that was an update to an existing version.
i'm sure that there are a whole bunch of people with 1.0.2 that are 
still trying to figure out how to upgrade to 1.0.3.  a complete distribution
of 1.0.3 by someone would make sense, even if it does take up a fair
amount of space.

considering i have at least three versions of each of the above, i think i
do understand.
