No idea, but I _thought_ I saw him post to the list more recently than
that. If it's a question about the program, he ships the source, and
there are others that are programmers who might be able to do some
archaeology to answer questions about it.

If it's about getting it to work on modern computers, I've had good
success using DOSBox, and I'm looking into refactoring it and
recompiling it under QB64, which will allow "native" builds for
Windows, MacOS, and Linux (and _maybe_ Android, someday. iOS does not
look like it's in the cards at present).
