That's interesting.  I received a game disk from SCO which has an ogre game
on it.  I haven't tried to figure out where it came from but, based on the
fact that most of the games LOOK like PD, I would guess that that's where
they got it.

Is Steve's original a computer game?  Is it a violation (read "do you think
it is a violation") to write a computer game which models a non-computer
game?  I love "monop".  When I get time I will write a computer version of
LastWord since the implementation of the board game is so poor but the idea
is basically good.
