| No, that was Kevin Runion from upstate New York. McCloskey was always McCloskey and CompuTel. Forbidden Lands I was actually released as a single player text adventure for DOS first. |

I'm not Bert, but I did develop a few of the Windows clients for MR.
Mountain Mail, Encryption Manager, and something I think wasn't released, but was close to a finished product.

If you could help me get back in touch with Bert - maybe you contact him and tell him I'd like to get back in touch with him, I'd really appreciate it.
I haven't heard back from him in ages, and I'm not sure why. |

I would bet that you heard from him after I did... I haven't talked to Bert in years. He is still around (somewhere)... I see a shareware product he released (I released one too), but he has not made efforts to contact me.

Yes. I wrote the MR_MAIL Windows client. It was actually a very heavily modified version of the GComm email client. I remember spending quite a bit of time looking at the source code, trying to figure out what was going on, then trying to cram the MR_ features into it.
I threw an Easter Egg in there as well. Can't remember what you have to do to see it, but so far, in all these years, no one has ever mentioned it, so I think it still is undiscovered. |
