His code is distributed as described, binaries and enough interface source as required. He has however, always been helpful in getting the sources up on a new machine. In defense of Peter, I must say that this keeps Empire, wander, and his other games from getting as disgustingly varied as Rogue, search, and other games that the sources have been more widely available for. Peter is no longer at Lucusfilm, he works for Bell Communications research now. I don't know what machine to find him on, but he usually uses "psl" as his login name. -Ron
