   A long time ago, on a UNIX far, far away there was a game called Robots 2.
It was a simple curses based game that allowed you to type in a control/motion
key and obediently moved the robots only after the keypress.  And thus was the
Robots Protocol observed.

   But then, along came a devious programmer who by deceit and intrugue took
over the Robots2 history, completely violating the Robots Protocol revamping
the game into a far more potent fast-paced real-time version of the original.
The world has never been the same since.

   Thus came Robots3 into being -- a color, VGA compatible game that executes
in real time.  No more relaxed pace and taking your time, these critters are
nasty and they'll come after you relentlessly.   They chase you, that's ALL
they do!  They won't stop until you're dead!

   Both Robots3 and its predecessor (Robots2) are available in both source
and executable form by anonymous FTP at csd4.csd.uwm.edu in the directory
pub and packaged as robots3.zip using (pk)zip/unzip.

   You will need a VGA compatible monitor for this.  The source can be
compiled with the Quick C version 2.5 C compiler.

This sounds very interesting, but  alas I don't have FTP access.

uuencoded and in what ever size chunks is best for you.
