- Good News department: There are no pirated version of OOTW floating around,
- (yes, the game is not copy protected.) The reason being most of the
- pirates (at least in the S. California area) are friends of Bill Heineman,
- or at least know him and respect him enough, not to distribute the ware.
- It's either that, or all the GS users are beginning to realize that
- we must support those programmers who still write amazing things for the
- gs. (I saw a guy upload DreamGrafix 1.06 to a board once, and I requested
- that sysop remove the upload, which he promptly did :-)
