    I'd like to see the source code for MOO2.

      Unlikely. Infogreed, eh, Atari won't do such a thing. They wouldn't even allow abandonware . Sid bought the rights of some of the older MicroProse games back and reversed the situation on those

      However, it seems that even he won't open source his old work.

        It very hard to get source code to any computer programs look you cannot get the secret formulate for coke soda.

          SCO which is trying to sue the open soucre operation system have little change of winning in court. It I own than copyright on than book I must defend it by telling than book
          pub that they are vilioable my copyright and give full detrail includeing all text where this occur. Copyright doesnot allow
          you to copyright aword or than idear only how you express that idear. Certain % of the work must be the same but that not mean your copyright was violate as some words are consider null words which will be use everyday by common people or book meant to certain occuplateion of people. Than booking dealing with medice will have certain words alway use by medical doctor in they day to day work and will alway be use in just book. Null words donot count in copyright cases.

              It depends on ultimately whether the copyright holder will release it.

                The song Happy Brithday is copyright by than very wealthly man who put in the public domain as he didnot want to have the hassle of sueing everybody in the world that sung this easy to remember song at birthday party. He still hold the copyright in case someone try to put it back under copyright like the RICA.

                  I can't even change TECHNAME.LBX, "Cyber-Security Link" --> "Cyber-Security Bleh" without crashing Moo2 at startup.

                  Looks like I'll have to stick with OCL and good ol' byte hacking.

                      The program MultiEx Commander can already read LBX files, and this program has now been open sourced, so you can check out what they found out about the LBX format.

                        I couldn't get MultiEx to open any LBX files.

                        And I'm not dedicated enouh to mess around with it to figure out how to make them open properly.

                          Too many games have they own custom file format back then. It alway anony me when game compancy have their own custom format command to make than 3.5 inch playdisk which have than habit of getting corrupt files on it.

                            Arculis mentioned the OCL editor for MOO2 techs. If anyone doesn't have this, they can download it (and many other editors) from the zoetrope site:



                            and follow the links, or directly to:

                                well, it's rather easy, if you know how to work with a hex editor (I'd recommend Hexworkshop) just open up stream.lbx (or somesuch) and select a block from one occuring of 'RIFF' to the next. Save it as a new file (preferably as a wav file) and convert it to mp3.
