We need to offer more relaxation and fun, and I intend to explore the games category more: I should do so while waiting for cygport builds; I used to play GNU games a long time ago, while waiting for builds. I installed Cygwin sl long ago, rescued {asr,funny}-manpages from Debian when they announced dropping them, and have built those, cowsay, moo, and others for local installs. I have also saved archives of {comp,mod}.sources*, Heirloom, and Moby collections, as many of those games/utilities originated there. I have hesistated to ITP them: if there is interest in ASCII Art games/utilities, I will offer those I have. -- Take care.
