and goes on to suggest `publishing' it as shareware, electronically.

Hmm. Interesting. The market would be a lot smaller, though, and the
possibility of FASA hitting you with a Lawsuit would _have_ to be resolved.

It doesn't sound as `satisfying', somehow. It's a lot of work to do
it right. Also, the issue of good quality artwork is much better handled
by FASA. They already have artists working for them, and printing on
paper is going to be _so_ much better - ultimately, you need hard
copy even if you do distribute it electronically.
