     The site referenced above is, obviously, the creation of a true 
Gruds in Space devotee. There is background info along with quite a few 
hints. However; there is no game, just a suggestion that Broderbund be 
petitioned to release a PC version.

     Fortunately, the Apple II version is preserved on Asimov as two DSK 
files. The two packed DSK's can be found at 
ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/games/adventure/gruds_in_space/ 
and unpacked using WinZip.

     The DSK's are intended for use with an A2 emmulator running on a 
PC. To convert a DSK back to A2 diskette form, move the DSK file to an 
Apple II and run DSK2FILE.
