I finally broke down and bought DM and a hint book. I have managed to get to level four. Does anyone have any information about the history of the development of this program? I am amazed that anyone udertook such a project. That they made it work is incredible. That it fits on a single sided disk is clearly impossible!! The amount of detail in the dungeon, the sounds, the response time, the pictures, et cetera boggle my mind. This has to have been a labor of love. I would really like to know something of how it came about and be able to express my respect to the authors for their accomplishment.

You just reminded me of an idea i've had kicking in my head for some time. At one point, I almost wrote to FTL asking them to publish a full sized book on DM. This would be complete with source and flowcharts. The advantage to this? I am -positive- that half of all hackers for the ST would be willing to shell out $30 for this book. Lets hear it. Anybody else for a letter writting campaign to FTL? ****************************************************************************** * - Death is part of the ecosystem, that doesn't mean that you should * * enjoy it. * * * * -Scott F.
