Everyone: Thanks for the time that you have taken to write in. I regret not being able to respond to everyone, but rest assured that I have at least read your mail. There has been some demand for the following: Since any collection of premade character graphics would be largely random in appearance if I were (with the help of my brother) to create them without guidelines, I thought we might take advantage of this little scheme: Any of you who are interested in having your favorite character immortalized in the program, just email me the description (with game system) and I will try to work it into the art. You won't have to create him/her/it yourself, then, and I will probably end up producing a much more reasonable and interesting set of characters. Thanks. Shehzad Najmi for Magic Matrix P.S.

>P.S. The Digital Dungeon as set forth in the earlier note is now: >Copyright 1991 by Shehzad Najmi. Unless laws have been radically changed, you can't copyright a description of something - or at any rate, all the copyright does is prevent people from "publishing" the description, not from coming up with their own look-alike. If you want to copyright the program, you have to wait until you actually have one. And in that case, it does no good to call things copyrighted AFTER you post it... Of course you can SAY things are copyright all you want, but it just doesn't mean anything. Also, why the heck do you cross post to all those zillions of groups??? Just pick one Amiga group and leave it at that... -- Darin Johnson djohnson@ucsd.edu - Political correctness is Turing undecidable.
