Okay, if anyone wants to really save the GS in a college/university environment, develop a version of NetTrek that runs on the GS. I remember a couple of years ago the Mac version almost shut down the net resources at U. of Michigan. Laser printing slowed to a halt. Couldn't find a free packet if you tried. That's the real way to save the machine. Inter-architecture computer games. > David A. Lyons, Apple Computer, Inc. | DAL Systems > Apple II System Software Engineer | P.O.

We tend to have quite a few netrek junkies around here. I beleive the source code is around,so that could help. It would be neat if it could be compatible with the current versions around, though that may not be as easy, or even possible because of updating times over the modem.
