	I've only met Bill briefly, but from what I know of him, I
would say (w/ confidence) that it is pure love.

	He's written a lot of titles for Interplay (all platforms).
His original stuff was done in p8, because there was no Merlin 16+
(he's a merlin fan!) but he has also gone back and taken the time to
update his programs to use gs/os, midisynth, etc.  Specifically, Tass
Times in Tonetown, Bard's Tale I & II were all updated for GS/OS.
He's also written Crystal Quest, Dragon Wars and OOTW for the GS. (I
probably missed a few)  And somewhere in the works he has BTIII GS,
Ultima I GS, and Mario Teaches Typing (rumor).

	I've heard that he does all of his programming on the GS.
This includes DragonWars for the PC, which say Written on an Apple II,
Apple II forever (or something like that).  And he wrote
OOTW for the SNES using the Sluggo III (his SNES cross development
system).
