(best), B, C, D, E, F, G, N (near miss), U (unclassified), while
university degrees go First Class (best), Upper Second Class, Lower
Second Class, Third Class, Pass, Fail (although not for postgraduate
degrees such as MPhil and PhD, which you either get at the end or
you don't).

delayed response - I was busy preparing for the release of Party
Willy.
What about the demo of _The Epitaph of the Manic Mining Robot_?

For now, I've replaced all links to
http://www.geocities.com/jet_visy/ except the above two.
Please let me know the URL of your new site as soon as it's
appropriate for me to link to it.

Goodnite Luddite, and Afrikaan in 2005) to be my masterpiece, but I
would expect Party Willy to be more popular because it is more
accessible and is set in the world of Willy. The Kari Kriníková
games should go down as "cult" classics, whereas Party Willy is more
mainstream.

give general permission for people to reuse my graphics provided I'm
credited:
>>>I don't mind you reusing some of the rooms, graphics, &c. in your
own games, or converting the game to another computer (e.g. for JSW-
PC). However, the accompanying documentation must state that the
reused material is the copyright of Broadsoft - failure to do so may
be construed as plagiarism. I would like the documentation to be
quite specific about this, e.g. "Graphic X in Room Y was taken from
We Pretty", or whatever.
