As soon as I get a chance I will put an ascii text version out there.

My idea with the shareware is that I will put the save files on my web site
for anyone to download. The source code will stay with the author and it
will be up to them to decide how to distribute it (and what to charge).

My feeling is that if anyone wants to make a mod to the shareware programs
then that is when they should pay some small fee for the source code. Of
course, each author can decide otherwise.
For the present time I will do all the hosting for free as I really think this
will benefit us all.
