[stepping onto soapbox]

Remember, there are still copyright issues here even tho' the code is old.
Some of these games are being remarketed commericially on the PC, often
using emulation technology similar to MAME.

Since many of us on the PICLIST make our living off intellectual property, I
would hope we would respect the IP of others!
