[net.games.emp] PSL Games Distribution

psl@petrus.UUCP (03/21/85)

*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***
I now have new versions for 4.2BSD (VAX), 4.2BSD (Sun), and Eighth Edition (VAX)

If you are a uucp neighbor of bellcore I'll be glad to send you a version
with uucp if you'll let your uucp neighbors get copies from you (if they will
do the same).  Otherwise you need to send me an SAST.

If you got the tape from me recently you probably need bug fixes for pslsin.o
and add.o (for Empire), so send me mail and I'll send you the fixes.

An open letter to the people whose games tapes I just mailed back...

Dear Long-Suffering Game Enthusiast,


Well, I've procrastinated long enough; far too long, actually.

I keep waiting for the development activity to die down on these games so
I can be sure they're really bullet-proof and bug-free before sending them,
but I've had to realize an unpleasant truth; the only time I'm not making
changes in the games is when I'm too busy on other projects.  Consequently,
the only time I could put together a distribution is when I don't have time.


Stranger:	Say farmer, why don't you fix your roof?  It's leaking!

Farmer:		Are you crazy? I ain't gonna get up there in all this rain!

Stranger:	Well then, why don't you fix it when it's not raining?

Farmer:		What for?  It doesn't leak then!


So, here it is;
this is the 4.2 BSD version with some new features and some new bugs...

I just mailed 14 tapes out, some that I've been holding for quite a while
( > 4 years in one case).  If you sent me a tape within the last 4 years and
indicated you wanted a 4.2 BSD Vax version then you might want to remember
where you were when you sent it and make sure they know how to forward mail
to you...
