	I was wondering about a couple of games I have seen recently-
Castle Wolfenstein 3D and Llamatron. Both are new versions of old games-
dont they violate someone's copyright? I rember some discussion on this
group before about the possiblity of someone making a M.U.L.E. clone,
but the consensus seemed to be that you couldn't make one, even a public
domain one, without violating a copyright. What about these games?
