I don't think I've seen a game that I have ever wanted to buy more since 
Ultima 5, and now I want it even more.  Releasing an editor would be 
great, but I wonder if you just release the specs whether we can fiddle 
the source code for DEU to work for Descent (not that I'd want to do it, 
but I just wonder).

Thanks for reading our input and, speaking for myself, I can't wait.
