Please see the Friday, June 8th, issue of the Wall Street Journal (Western Edition?) for the complete story on Tetris and how the russians got screwed more by the communist system than anything else. What is also clear from the article is that if Spectrum Holobyte doesn't have a sublicense from Nintendo to sell Tetris then _they_ are the ones who should have their software recalled. Anyway, it is a pretty sad story. The message seems to be not to trust U.K. software publisher/distributors ;-) -- --Chuck McManis Sun Microsystems uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: <none> Internet: cmcmanis@Eng.Sun.COM These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
