I assume that you are talking about the game.
The FIRST "Xenophobe" was our compatability testing program.
I hadn't really intended to get into testing compatability, but my
publisher was trying to negotiate with IBM, and asked me to write a
version of XenoCopy that would refuse to run on anything but the IBM PC.
I did that by calling the ROM BASIC.
Then the scum^H^H^H^H publisher sent THAT version out to reviewers.
When PC World used XenoCopy, Lotus?, and Flight Simulator as their method
of testing compatability of clones (1/83?), and referred to the 5150 ONLY
version of XenoCopy as "the acid test", I wrote and distributed a program
called "XenoPhobe : The acid test" that checked clone compatability level.
Enforcing a trademark is too much like work.
