It was never my intention to find an *illegal* copy of the game, and therefore
shortchange it's authors.  I just thought that if a somewhat crude facsimile of 
the game existed, I could try it out and then buy Spectrum Holobyte's product
if I liked it.  I also agree that software developers should be rewarded for 
their efforts and ideas.
