Elite and no cheating.  

I'll go and have a look on the win machine.....

I think I'm a Marquis in the IMP Navy, I can't see now, the icon
I've been using doesn't want to work, I think it might have something
to do with me upgrading the browser to IE5.5 recently.  It's complaining
about lack of memory etc.

If you've been reading alt.fan.elite, you'd be aware of the couple of
source-available Elite ports.

First is 'Elite: The New Kind' by Christian Pender - a
reverse-engineering of the Archimedes or BBC Elite, and then there is
something called 'JJFFE', which appears to be a reverse-engineering of
Elite: First Encounters.

But what I'd like is a Unix / Linux port of Frontier: Elite 2.

Didn't know it existed, I'll have to check it out.
