Wow, I thought you'd long forgotten! :-D

I think if you rename the file (.EXE -> .EX) they won't complain anymore. (Yes, very juvenile behavior of them, but what can you do?) You could also use Rapidshare.com for very temporary file download hosting.

I recommend leaving DOSBox as a separate download as most of us already have it. :-D

Huh, surprised you didn't use FPC or similar, but I guess this way is better compatibility for old machines.

Sure, take a break, enjoy! The best free games I've played recently are FreeDoom and Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup. Try 'em! :-D
