But doing it now would at least enable creating physical disks if someone wanted to play it on a real system.  Not a project I'll be doing though!

The .nibs that are up on Asimov are playable in an emulator (I think - it at least boots).

And then be able to create a 3.5" disk?  Dunno.

Some more study of the program might find usable room on sides 2 and 3, or create self-extracting versions (they boot with a util that can create a new disk).  Just a lot of work.
