Anyone interested in porting some ancient game "Digger" to Linux?

Hi Roman,
Thanks for your email - it's great to get praise, especially for something
that was so much fun to create.

I'm hoping eventually to get a native Linux version of Digger working
eventually. It shouldn't be too difficult, since most of the code is now
in C, but since I don't currently have Linux on my computer, I need to
find someone else who can do it.

No, I tried them already, as well as several other "Windmill Software"s
around the world. I recently discovered the snail-mail address for the
original original Windmill software in Ontario, Canada, so hopefully I
should hear from them soon.
Enjoy playing Digger and please pass it on to all your friends.
