I wonder if the author would release it to free software ?

I'm sure the archive.org people would have a runnable version, and it could be distributed as a freedos package.

I found this: ftp://ftp.chatnfiles.com/Simtel-CDroms/Simtel-for-Ms-Dos-march-97-2-of-2/disc2/misclang/00_index.htm

Three Jorf archives there, binaries, manual etc. could be the whole thing for all I know. Not tested : )

Anyway, it's interesting that he singled out nuclear weapons, but eg. landmines would be just fine

I always figured landmines, and ammo are considered chemical weapons

So it works? Did you run any code? Jorf is about to witness its revival :)
