Welp, I seem to have caused a little confusion with my previous vague posting. Here goes an attempt at a fix: simtel is short for the ftp site wsmr-simtel20.army.mil. if you don't know what ftp is, you're hopeless. wsmr stands for white sands missle range. it is a huge database of programs, documentations, etc. WARNING: I have heard (and tend to believe) that simtel is the busiest ftp site in the world! I was only able to log on as anonymous at 4 in the morning EST. The ftp number for simtel is 26.2.0.74. Deathmall 3000 is a hypercard stack/game. It looks really neat. The artwork is very nice. Basically, you return to the Earth in the year 3000 after a spaceship mishap a la Planet of the Apes. You have this abandoned mall to explore and play around in. The only flaw is you can never save the game! But this is not the programmer's fault, but the fault of Hypercard. hope this clears up any questions

You need to get your ID fixed. Check out the photocopier store and you might find some stuff yhou need to do (hmm those index cards might be useful) Unfortunately, the game crashes on my computer soon after you find the other floor--I hope it doesn't do the same on yours. It does seem to be a hyperscript crash though since it can't execute some command or other. ins_apw@jhunix.hcf.jhu.edu

Hey! I tried to get onto wsmr-SIMTEL20, but it seems to be next to impossible to get into...Is there any other place I can FTP Deathmall from? ylsul@athena.mit.edu Young Sul
