OK, I stand corrected.

I did a search for "Apple II Game Server" and got to the old Berlios
page (the 1st hit in Google) which states:
"Note: Presently, only games that are contained in single files work,
but disk images that use [apple] dos 3.3 will be working in the near
future."

I didn't realise the project was now being hosted on SourceForge (the
3rd hit in Google)...  :-(

Anyway,

Cheers,
Mike
