Hey there,
Sorry about that. The page contains a download for the MS-DOS version,
which has the source code contained within it. I will post a text-only
version of the source code right now. The text will be at:
http://www.geocities.com/dunric/wfsource.txt
Sorry for that!
By the way, the Amstrad looks like a very cool system and Westfront PC
would be awesome translated to it.
