I don' know about Yar's Revenge, but there was a new version of Dig Dug released last year in the App store that sold a lot of copies. On Feb 20, 2012, at 9:12 PM, Allen E.

As long as Rocket constantly refuses to include something better than the command line editor. You will always have people who do not shell out for anything else. I have no idea what yazoo at IBM/Rocket decided to junk JET when they had no suitable replacement. -Original Message- From: Allen E.
