Sword of Sodan - no longer lost!

[spec@vax2.concordia.ca (Mitchell Spector)]

    The other day I located a former beta tester of Sword of Sodan, 
and soon learned this person _still_ has a functional beta version
on hand! Although the game was never completed, this is a great deal
more than the dealer demo most have seen. The problem is this person
feels the non-disclosure agreement they signed is still valid, and
refuses to pass the copy on so it can be preserved. Technically and
legally, it may be so, but in light that the game was cancelled over
7 years ago and never released, should it just fade from existence now?

    I contacted Scott Patterson, the original author, about two years 
ago. At that time he claimed all source-code and beta copies had been
long lost, but didn't seem closed to making it available *if* anything
could be dug up. I don't have a way to contact Scott directly, but
Tim Meekins did, and still does work with him. Could someone pass on
Tim's most recent address or mention it to him? (The address I have 
doesn't seem to be used by Tim any longer).
