I noticed that the discussion about getting world UPP's is starting to
pick up again. Instead of downloading from GEnie, with all its expenses
and problems that may be involved, I noticed that on the last page of
the _World_Builder's_Handbook_ by DGP, they are offering world building
software and UPP data on disks.
The world building software is $24.95 for IBM and Mac versions, and
$29.95 for Apple II and Commodore versions.
The "Second Survey Data" (as they call it) is priced identically to the
world building software above. According the the blurb in the back of
the book, the Mac versions use HyperCard. SSD is also said to contain
UWP data for *37* (WOW!) sectors in and near the Imperium. "The World
Builder's Program can read this data and generate world detail sheets to
your heart's content," according to DGP.
They (DGP) say this stuff is available in January 1990, so you should be
able to order now.

Has anybody seen this software yet? Any opinions on it?
