Hi,
First off I would like to thank you for providing this service. I had
all but given up on playing when I found this resource. This fresh input
has revived my love.
I noticed a request for Sledgehammer in the most-wanted list. I found
the following crd for this at another site. The originators address is
at the top. I attempted to contact him/her to see if they minded me
forwarding this to you but couldn't get mail through to that address. I
kinda figured if it was in a public ftp directory they might not mind it
being spread around. I am sending the file intact incase you or anyone
else wishes to attempt to contact him/her.
Again thanks for being there and doing all this for all of us.
Regards,
Christopher Martin (cmartin@martin.idi.oclc.org)
Sledgehammer (Peter Gabriel)
