I found it as sirtet.zip, and it's for PM, not WPS...did you really find an OS/2 2.0 version? >The only problem I have with the game is the way the blocks rotate.

If the author is lurking about, or if the source code is available somewhere, it would be nice to fix this. It is, as you say, disruptive. It would also be nice if the game detected the aspect ratio of the screen instead of assuming 1:1. Or maybe it is detecting it, but overcompensating...anyway, on EGA (ye gods, I'm so embarrassed...) everything is squished. Oh well, it's still a nice game, even if it doesn't get fixed. Greg
