Dear DJGPP Programmers,

 AwesomePlay Productions now has job openings!

 Our current project, War of the Runes, is a Rogue clone ( see nethack at
http://www.win.tue.nl/games/roguelike/nethack/ or ADOM at
http://members.aol.com/adomdev/ for more Rogue clones ).

 We'd like to make War of the Runes better than any previous Rogue clone.
So far, we have done this by including a game editor, which will allow users
to make their own game world.  We also wanted to add in sound support.

 There are lots of nice sound packages out there, even for DJGPP.  But
AwesomePlay doesn't want is faqs and credits filled with company names and
licensing agreements.  We want people's names, maybe your name.  If you can
help AwesomePlay by writing a custom sound engine, capable of playing any
modern WAV, VOC, or MIDI file, and can perhaps help to create a custom
AwesomePlay sound file ( to prevent tampering ), go to
http://www.angelfire.com/biz/aweplay/join.html .

 War of the Runes, at this, may or may not be freeware.  We realize that a
game of this nature won't go far on a modern market.  But, perhaps with the
help of many talented programmers, we may be able to tack War of the Runes
farther than any previous Rogue clone has ever gone before.

 War of the Runes is in mid-development right now.  That means bug city.
Anyone who is willing to beta test War of the Runes may do so by visiting
our web page at http://www.angelfire.com/biz/aweplay and downloading the
latest beta version of War of the Runes.

 I thank you for reading this, and I thank you again for considering to be
part of this team.

Sean Middleditch
