Sorry, I didn't know there was going to be a DUKE 2.  Since I bought the game
I have had several folks ask to copy the disks.  They enjoyed the shareware
version and wanted the additional episodes without paying for them.  I am 
afraid that software piracy is one of my HOT buttons. I have no tolerance for
people that want the benefits of other peoples work without paying the
compensation. Again, sorry for the flame.

By the way, I am new to these comp.ibm.games... groups.  Is software piracy 
an issue here? Is it tolerated or actively discouraged?
