Hi Michael.
That is good news regarding richard's dos games, however Michael, zip files
would indeed be the best way of passing them around.
To access zip files, just try 7zip from http://www.7zip.com/
all you need to do is right click or similar on the file in windows
explorer, select the 7zip item you want such as extract here to get
everything from the zip folder in your current location, or extract to which
will create a new folder with the contents of the zip archive in it.
7zip is a very easy to use program and should make access anything zipped
far easier, pluss this then means that if Richard or anyone else wants to
send aroung games this should make them fairly easy.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

Hey, everyone for the last few days I have been talking to Richard L. De
Steno the creator of great games such as Destination Mars and Run For
President.
He told me that his games are freeware so if any of us would like to pass
out his games that is fine. Here is the email I recieve below.

Re: Quick info please.
I have made the DOS games freeware. There is no real market for DOS games
anymore. Those games were written in a DOS programming language. In order
to enable them to run in Windows, I would have to completely rewrite them,
and that is a huge undertaking. Since you were not able to access my two
previous attachments, I doubt that you would be able to access a zip file,
but maybe I'll try attachments again when I get a chance.
