I have uploaded the file mvpbg1.zip to ftp.demon.co.uk. It should move from /incoming to /pub/ibmpc/win3/apps/games/mvpbg1.zip Real Soon Now(TM). It's BIG! 2.9MBytes! I suggest you try one of the sites below unless you are in Europe. MVP _are_ on the Web; they have a pretty trumpet and they like to blow it... Direct from the archive and the WWW page: You're in for a treat when you try this fantastic implementation of the classic board game. Simulating the setting of a medieval pub, the graphics, music and digitized speech perfectly complement the intermediate skill level in this fully-playable shareware version. The registered version features the "Fiona" backdrop neural net position evaluator. This is without a doubt the best computer backgammon game ever. Req Windows, VGA, mouse; a sound card is recommended. MVP is Now on the Internet and the World Wide Web!
