[comp.sys.mac.games] French aristocrat game?

I am looking for an old Mac game that was based on the French aristcracy in the
17th century. The premise was that of building your wealth and prestige so you
could marry 'up' and your son, whom you then also controlled, would have a
better lot in the world. It was limited to those 2 generations (a drawback) but
it was quite amusing none the less. I think it was actually written as an
educational game (one of those sneaky ones, where you learn while your having a
lot of fun). I also think it was PD/Sharware. If anyone knows of this game, or
can send a copy, or where to get it, please let me know. Thanks!

I believe your are talking about "The Would-Be Gentleman" developed
by Carolyn Lougee at Stanford.  It use to be available through
the Kinko software distribution system.  It is currently available
from Intellimation for $26.95.  Their number is 1-800-346-8355.
