I agree...actually, there are several DHR productivity titles that I liked
very much and I am trying to track down the publishers and email
them and ask for reclassification.  Old 8-bit A2 games don't interest
me much (16-bit GS games DO interest me), but some of the DHR
productivity stuff late in the 8-bit A2's life were very good.  I want to
see them released for the A2 as freeware.

Ironically, these titles that I am trying to get reclassified are ones that
will probably never appear on Asimov because they are of no interest
to emulator users. They were "power user" programs for real A2 users.
