	      Commonly asked questions about Indenture

 Did you make an Atari 2600 emulator?  If so, are there any other games
  for it?

þ Indenture is not an emulator.  It is a re-creation.  I programmed it
  from scratch while simply observing the original Atari cartridge.  I
  have not made any other Atari 2600 games for the PC (yet).  If you are
  really interested, there is a software package for MS-Windows called
  "Activision's Action Pack."  I have seen it in just about every store
  that carries computer software.  It is also available for Windows 95
  and Macintosh.  It is a true Atari 2600 emulator, and the package
  includes 15 game titles.

 HELP!!  I can't find the dot!!  Why did you make it so hard?!

þ I didn't.  The dot is something that was present in the original
  2600 game.  I implemented it exactly as it exists in the original
  game.  Therefore, you'd have to ask the original programmer why the
  dot is so difficult to find.  I will not tell anyone where the dot is,
  or how to get to it.  But I will give some hints.  Here's one hint:
  the dot is in the black castle.  Watch the appearance of the rooms
  themselves;  there is something about them that will tell you an
  object is hiding in one particular room.

 Do you plan to make any more classic games for the PC?

þ Yes.  I'll announce them on rec.games.video.classic when they're
  ready.  Keep in mind that it takes a single person months to
  program a (decent) videogame.

 How did you program Indenture?  Can the program code be ported to
  Macintosh, X-Windows, etc.?

þ Indenture was programmed entirely in assembly, using a terrific
  command-line assembler, A86, and its companion debugger, D86.  Look
  for them on a SimTel FTP site near you.  Since Indenture was done in
  assembly, there is no way to port it to other systems, and I have no 
  plans to try.  Sorry.

 I would love to see a level editor for Indenture.

þ I don't plan on making a level editor, sorry.

 Please please please tell me what the "tokens" do!

þ Not a chance.  But I will tell you that it's not something so incredibly
  obscure that you would never be able to figure it out without somebody
  giving you the solution.  You can figure it out on your own.  Others
  have.  Without hints, even.

 Argh!  At least tell me how many tokens there are?  I've only found 4!

þ There are only four tokens.

 How many rooms does Indenture have?

þ I'm not telling.

 Will I know when I've found all the rooms?

þ Probably.  The "last" room is pretty ... unusual.
