I was on a multi-year OpenVMS contract at the time so it was only 
interesting to me from the perspective of having suffered a few 
corrupted UI files in the past. It would be a couple of years before I 
had opportunity to touch again. They had even less to gain with the rest 
of the stooges because they worked with Clarion, AS/400, and some other 
midrange tech. Clarion was the only PC based thing either of them had 
done for years.

Other than filling some time between games with conversation, there was 
nothing for them in it. We were just young geeks unwinding.

Since said time the designer has gotten a lot better. I had to hand edit 
a UI file a week or two ago, but that is the first time in years.
