This question has been made many times, including by me and the answer is that
the Spracklen are not anymore "the" Spracklen and Dan is working -or it was a
year ago or so.-in sierra in  games proyects. Know nothing about Kathe.
It seems they left the field after his failure in saitek with his module  Sparc,
that although strong was not a match for the Lang competition.
