   The author, Dan Bunten, mentioned this in an article on ports in Computer   
   Gaming World, December 1984. "The approach can be difficult to implement in   
   some cases (e.g. M.U.L.E. can't be done for an Apple)." (Page 40) The context   
   is an approach to porting    
   of designing for the highest capability system, then cutting features when   
   porting to other systems.   
      
   Challenge made, I guess?
