Laurence Brothers (the author of Omega) has sent a new version
of Omega, version 0.75, to comp.sources.games on usenet. An executable
version for the IBM-PC is of course available as well.
I've sent the executable to the moderator of comp.binaries.ibm.pc,
so it should appear there soon. For those of you who don't want to
wait, here's information about how you can get the game now.
You can ftp it from my local host, brokaw.lcs.mit.edu (18.30.0.33).
Login to anonymous, cd to the pub/pc-omega directory, and get the
files pcom-bin.arc and pcom-fil.arc (in binary mode).
Since simtel20 no longer has games, I'm going to try to put PC-Omega
into the grape archives: grape.ecs.clarkson.edu (128.153.13.196).
Also, for those of you who want the sources, there is no separate
version for the PC any more. All changes for the PC are now contained
within the main set of sources. Laurence will probably make these
available for ftp, and for now I've also made them available in
the directory specified above with the name pcom-src.tar.Z, a
compressed tar file using standard Unix formats. After appearing
in comp.sources.games, they will be on whatever sites standardly
archive that newsgroup, e.g. uunet.uu.net (192.48.96.2).
As usual, any general bugs or comments should be sent to Laurence
(brothers@paul.rutgers.edu), and any PC-specific bugs should be sent
to me.
