Thanks. I guess I should have thought of ebay, but it was old enough 
software that I just figured it wouldn't be readily available. But 
nothing's old enough or outdated enough for ebay I guess.

But the Atari download seems like the best deal. I'll probably go that 
route being that I have the manual from the Mac version...not that I 
really need it anymore...unless a friend can find the second copy he 
bought at one time to send to me.

After that I'll just have to track down the various Civ II components 
and Heroes of Might and Magic III... I would hope both of those would 
work quite well under Fusion.
