Ha! I picked up the original project (dosemu1) from an abandoned skeleton created by Matthias Lautner. I was a larval programmer and Linux was very much in its infancy. I really wanted to run Civilization on my one computer without keeping the DOS partition around -- staying on 24/7 Linux was a point of pride back then. While I got quite a few programs running well under dosemu, I never had much time to play Civilization after picking up the project.

Thankfully, when I got out of my depth and then joined a fledgling new ISP (MindSpring) as the first engineer, the worthy James MacLean took over and turned it into a solid system. Not sure why I'm not listed in the THANKS, but perhaps it's revenge for the poor code quality I left behind. :-)

It was one of the most enjoyable projects of my career, despite or perhaps because of how little I knew and how much I had to learn.
