I'm not sure who made it.  The premise for the game is to learn about the
country.  You basically drive a truck from province to province picking up
various commodities etc.

If its the same one it would have been protected, if I remember right from
trying to copy it from the school about 15 years ago...of course at the time
there were no tools really available to me to copy it anyway.

Any chance you could either make/post a rom of it, or if you'd part with the
original drop me a note...

I've asked the company that originally made it (well, the company that
bought them out - as they are Burnaby based - about a half hour from here)
and they still make a version for the PC, but they won't even admit to
having made one for the Apple II...I was begging them to look in the
archives but they simply aren't interested.

Orig company was "Didatech" and copyright by "Dave Vincent".  I got that
information from Cross Country USA which is readily available and
downloadable from the asimov archives.  It has an advertisement in it for
the Canada version which is what I played in early grade school.

Thanks,
Mac.
