This is not PD, but pretty cheap: If you are talking about what I think you are (you pick pairs of tiles until they are all gone) it is part of Microsoft's Entertainment Package for Windows. If you already have Windows, I think the extra $25 for these 7 or so games is well spent. -- John Oswalt megatest!jao@sun.UUCP ..!sun!megatest!jao

There is a version for Windows, which USED to be PD until MS bought the rights. In fact the pre-Windows versions are STILL PD as I recall (beta tests). (oops...those PDs should read SW for Shareware - a GREAT concept if ever I've seen one) There are others out there though that don't require Windows. I have one for the EGA, unfortunately I don't have FTP access so I can't send it to you :-( But many of the Shareware outlets carry it...or BBSes... or a ftp site (don't have access so don't know for sure on the last one). <***** potential flame on *****> And don't give me that garbage about the 'good' ones are for Windows only! The one that I have is wonderful, and it doesn't need Windows! <***** potential flame off *****> Actually another good shareware program for Windows is Solitile...it's an offshoot of Mahjong...interesting! Anyway, that's my two bits worth.... Eric Yoxtheimer yox@tc.fluke.com -These opinions are MINE....nobody can claim credit for them ;-)

I have a pretty nice version of MahJonngg (EGA, Non-Windows, Mouse, etc.) for one player. It is shareware and I think the author wants eight dollars for registration. If someone will post the proper place in SIMTEL to ftp this to -- or another good place to FTP, it shall be done. -- Paul Beker Internet: gt4824a@prism.gatech.edu 24838 Georgia Tech Station uucp: ..!{world}!gatech!prism!gt4824a Atlanta, GA 30332
