If it's Kevin Brake, he already sent the files. If not, then yes, please
send them my way. Extra info couldn't hurt.

That's what Dr Schoen did too, but I might lean toward the original game
somewhat. I know he said he did it for playability, but that's part of
the fun of Boggle -- getting an impossible grid and eking out ANY words
from it.
Of course, if I ever get around to the game, I could offer one or more
options; yours, mine, his...
BTW, what did you call it? Just "<<Boggle>>", or mISmoH, or something else?

An interesting idea, but since what I want to do is "virtual" anyway, it's
not a big deal. I've never played the Pocket version though; might be
worth looking into.
