As with any other software unless you've got permission included with the
licence it came under then no. I'm hoping to collate enough info to write
a Scott Adams interpreter in portable C, but even then the databases will
need to be legally obtained and using Scott's system. It also won't
do the later fantastic four games - which clearly use a different game driver
Still with luck this will run Scotts games, Brian Howarth's games (did he
make it in the US - did some really good games in the UK), and possibly
a few others. I'm also hoping to get Blizzard Pass (a game I did years ago
using the Scott driver and sold the ZX Spectrum 128K (only)) rights of.
