Hmm. I could have sworn I addressed this same question not more than a
week ago.

After Nibble went out of business, they licensed all their software to Big
Red Computer Club, who sold it for a year or two. When the contract with
BRCC expired, all the rights reverted back to the former Publisher of
Nibble. Sorry...but I do not have his address.

Which brings up something that I have been saying over and over again in
Shareware Solutions II...namely...if there's something you want to buy for
your Apple II, buy it now.

Shareware Solutions II has been purchasing the rights, or licensing the
rights, and in some cases, buying old software by the box-load...but
SSII's resources are limited, and can't rescue everything. We currently do
offer all the back issues of Script-Central and Stack-Central/Studio City,
a lot of IIe/IIc games that BRCC still had on hand when they closed their
doors, and the entire disk based resource library from the National
AppleWorks User Group. There will be other products we rescue from
obscurity, but the Nibble collection isn't slated to be one of those.
Sorry.
