     Cool, a fan!

     I'm pretty sure it was just one program (plus an article) to Nibble. The
deal included distribution rights.

     A few years later, Nibble folded. Don't know if anyone acquired the
magazine's properties. After nearly a decade of (evidently) zero activity
regarding Nibble software, the reasonable presumption is that ownership
rights revert to the creators.
