- Dear Folks,
-
- V1.2 should be mailed to you sometime next week. Once it's
- out, we'll start making a list of what runs and what doesn't run
- under it. I have also received permission to use unmvax.cs.unm.edu
- to store publically distributable ( = public domain + shareware )
- progams in Apple Double format, so you can just ftp them over and
- double-click on them, once you have V1.2. Our beta testers can do
- that now.
-
- When you use FTP, remember to use "binary" mode and to take
- both forks of each file.
-
- The machine is unmvax.cs.unm.edu, the directory is
- /pub/ardi/Apps. There's also a "Submissions" directory that you can
- put stuff for people to share (please, only publically distributable
- stuff). I'll have someone from ARDI take a look at whatever turns up
- in Submissions and transfer it to Apps as appropriate.
-
- To start things off I put a handful of games out there: Cairo
- ShootOut! Golf (a solitaire game), Artillery, IAGO, Engel's Enigma,
- BlackBox, Precision Cribbage, MISSLE GAME, Hot Air Balloon, GunShy
- and Amazing. None of these are real exciting, but that's frequently
- how Publically Distributable stuff is, but some of the games are
- really great for kids.
-
- SimAnt runs with only one minor flaw (which may be fixed by
- the time we freeze V1.2), but of course you have to buy your own copy
- of that to run it.

- p.s. Yes, we are still working on the big ticket applications; very
- little time has been put into the games, but they do make good tests
- for Executor, so we have tried many of them out and are sharing the
- ones that work.
