RE: trade wars...

Has anyone tried an online game called gemstone3?  We used to be able to
play it on genie before that service went down the tubes and it was over
on aol either at the same time or after that.  You could play it with
text interface but it also had a windows front-end that could be used.
I never had enough resources to try the windows front-end out with
screen reader while genie was still a going concern those came later.

alright, I still have the thing, its called gmud, and I have its files
in a zip, though I don't seem to have the old sheet for making it run
best with jaws, plus it is quite old, version 3.2 and that was years
ago, you can try a newer copy if its still out there, I'll send this
along to you, in case it is still useful.

take care,
the elf
