: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.
