Mega bummer dudes...

I just got some bad news from Dave Addison about two of his programs,
Monopoly and Millebourne.  It seems that Parker Brothers didn't like a
game done so close to the look and rules of their game(s). They said it
was a copyright infringment.  So rather than argue, Dave agreed to spread
the (bad) news that all copies of his Monopoly and Millebourne are to be
erased.  They now fall under the catagory of pirated software.

[Don't reply to me, I'm just passing the news on.]
