Ooookay.

The status is: 

We have nearly all the files we need. (Missing only one hint file, in 
fact. Er, also the XYZZYnews stuff. Yes, I know where it is, I need 
Eileen to archive up the HTML and generate PDF and text for the latest 
issue.) 

Barring those omissions, I have constructed the disk image of the Mac 
side of the CD. I have sent it off to John West McKenna, who is currently 
in the process of making an IBM version which looks "just like that". 
Then we will throw on Unix-formatted versions of the text files, and 
every interpreter we can find, for any system.

The booklet is all designed, except that I have to come up iwth a bunch 
of plausible-sounding Legal Fine Print.

The game list:

Unnkulia 1, 2, 1/2, 0. The Legend Lives. Modernism, Freefall, Lethe Flow 
Phoenix, Curses, Jigsaw, So Far, Path to Fortune, Theatre, Christminster, 
The Underoos that Ate New York, Adventure, Rylvania, Hero Inc, John's 
Fire Witch, Shelby, Lost New York.

(The game list has been frozen for months now. No, nothing will be added.)

We will sell it mail-order for $15 (US). 

It will be available "sometime".
