Hi Gert,

Probably... or maybe in the libraries of gentoo.  And then again, I'm running
an older version of Ubuntu, v12.5 LTS, I think.  I don't know about the most
recent version of Ubuntu :)

Understand. :)

So far, some people have let me know in email and netmail that they are not
interested in the Windows versions of those games.  The files are too large,
and they just jam up their systems because of the total size.  Splitting
doesn't help, because still the "original" same file length must go out <g>.

So you can stop sending me the Windows games files.  I guess people can get it
themselves online if they want it.

I have not heard any complaints about the  MAC versions though, so if they are
not gigantic, I can send those out if you send them over here.  Again, I don't
like sending out anything larger than 30M though.  It's just too big :(

Take care,
Janis
