I have looked at ETERNAL2, and it has these sizes:
eternal.doc 1753
eternal.prg 703
confgram.tos 6087
Umm, I've just noticed it called ETERNAL, not ETERNAL2. However, pressing
on... In the doc file it says:
(c) Robert Fischer and OSS, 1986.
When running the configuration program, CONFGRAM, it comes out with Robert's
address in Hamden, CT. Eternal itself puts up 2 bombs...
This version of ETERNAL came on a floppy that was stuck to the front of
a magazine called ST/Amiga Format.
