That's because I didn't sign it.

I can probably get hold of a scanner here. However, the tables from the
encounter program could be interesting too, because they've already been
checked. I would also be interested in porting your encounter program. I
seem to recall, however, that you were reluctant to give away your
source code, since there were some libraries you developed or something,
I don't know. Let me know if you changed your mind. I could probably get
it to work directly by the way, there is a dos emulator for linux, but
I'd have to find out how to actually run that.
