According to 'order.frm`, the game costs 39.95 USD, and shipping to UK is=
=20
a further 8 USD, making a total of 47.95 USD. The current exchange rate=20
is slightly more than 1.5 USD to 1 pound, making the cost of ordering=20
direct from 3DREALMS slightly over 31 pounds.

So why does it cost over one-third more to buy from the UK distributors=20
(who presumeably have copies shipped over in bulk), than it does to have=20
a single copy individually mailed direct?

Also 3DREALMS have said on their web page that the quickest way of=20
obtaining the software is by ordering direct from them. If they are=20
telling the truth then ordering direct not only saves you a whole heap of=
=20
cash but may well get you the game faster.

I know which option I'm going for...
