Thad,

	Maxis is indeed in cahoots with Broderbund :). Anywho, Maxis is
is actually the now defunct Interactive Softworks. Jeff Braun, the original
owner of Interactive, sold the company and had to retire the name. Anywho,
they all decided that Maxis would be their name of fame. Will Wright, Maxis'
link to Broderbund, was on contract -- and probably still under non-discloser
agreements -- with Broderbund, and still has some ties to the company. So,
anywho, Maxis wrote it and Broderbund publishes the thing. I'll put the
problem on my grape vine and see if I can get the problem fixed.
