I beleive the problem with EGad was that it was never really finished.  If I
recall correctly, it was a project instituted by Captain Crunch on the Well,
and was a group project by a bunch of programmer's that hung out on the Well.
Unfortunately, in the final phase of programming, the Captain ran into a few,
um, well, legal problems (if memory serves) and I don't think the project was
ever carried to completion.  The version out now is pretty much a beta version,
and the final debugging was never completed.  At least, I think that's the
way things went, according to my sometimes vague memorys.
