Well, Alice is a very early ( I first saw it the day the Mac was introduced)
version of the program currently available as "Through the Looking Glass" from
Apple, $39.95 list.  Alice is really just the skeleton of the game, incomplete
and "Through the Looking Glass" provides many options.  It was described a few
months ago in MacWorld.( March 1985 pp, 84).
