	I received the following from an unnamed source (I can tell
you that it definitely wasn't Saddam Hussain) in the mail.... It's a post
from a BBS...

I spoke with richard garriot today about Ultima VI.  They actually tried to
write it on an apple IIe  128k.  They had to cancel the project though because
they totally ran out of memory on a 128k apple.  therefore their isn't going to
be an ultima VI //e even though they tried....one bright note though.  When I
talked to bill hienaman today he mentioned that he would love to program ultima
VI on the GS...so tommorrow bill is going to try and get in touch with richard
and we might see an Ultima VI GS come from the meeting.

	Personally, I don't see how they can make a Commodore 64 version
and not a //e version, since the 64 has only 64K of memory (right? The
128 has 128K of memory).. and probably the same kinds of other general
limitations as 8 bit 6502 based computers.
