	The walker demos DO exist. The problem is that they are
illegal for Imaginetics to distribute. It is copyright violation:
Lucas holds a copyright on the Ice Walkers of Hoth. Imagin. didn't
think of that until they got this phone call...
	There is, however, no legal reason why I cannot give them out.
I have both. If you want them, Email me and I'll give you my regular
address and you can send me a SASE and two blank disks (four if you
want both). They are both well over 1MB in size and require 2MB to
run! I don't plan on sending anyone mail with them anytime soon. On my
system, we are limited to <1MB quota even in the temporary storage
areas so I cannot mail them, FTP em, or even get them into my Unix
account. If there is another way let me know. Personally, the first is
a little disappointing compared to the second, but is still quite
good.
