Over and over, we see the same problem:  Somebody posts a game.
Nobody gets all of it.  Many states get none of it.  Thus, for
three weeks, the net is full of 600 megs of hack beng shuffled
around at 1200 baud all over the world.

I propose a solution:  chain tapes.  I will initiate sending the
tape.  I send it to site one, who reads it and sends it to the
person I designate as site two, who sends it to site three, etc.

As long as we're at it, I will throw in all the stuff I have
that I believe is public, such as midway, mille, hack, battlestar,
etc.  Peole who have goodies, local games, etc. should ad them to
the tape.

Interested parties, parties with the zork sources, etc. should
contact me.
