You have finally moved to windows, since SMP in DOS is not possible. (or Linux or whatever, of course). 2. You also chose to keep your effort secret for reasons that I won't try to determine or understand. But again, here, you pay your money and take your chances. If you keep an SMP version secret, then you can't realistically expect anyone to ask you to enter it in an important event. I don't buy the "they should have asked." They could just as easily say "you should have told us." Since neither program has played a public game, it is hard for me to determine how "serious" all this really is. It could range anywhere from "vaporware" to "sort of working" to "really good parallel performance". If it is the latter, then keeping it secret _really_ makes no sense. If it is one of the former, then wanting it considered makes no sense. In short, it makes no sense to me, period... no matter what has happened.
