Hello,

Just a general query--I realize that sail is distributed under the Berkely
license.  Does this make it illegal to port to DOS?  I've kinda started, and
would like to keep on going just to keep myself occupied and release it as
share/freeware when I'm done.  What are the limitations of the Berkely license?
Even though I've (kinda) used the sail source as a base, the lil' guy I've got
now bears hardly any resemblance (code-wise) to it's 'ancestor'....

If I can get it up and running in text mode (kinda close to that now) I'll
probably wanna spiff it up with some color graphics/sound and do another 
share/freeware release...

Basically the only reason I want to do this is to play the sucker on my home
box under OS/2 in a DOS session and nobody else has seemed to have ported
this beastie :-)

Any comments, questions, or even flames (be gentle!) welcome!
