This is a play, I presume, on the "infinity" in the name in the last of
the three released Marathon games (which were "Marathon", "Marathon 2:
Durandal", and "Marathon Infinity"), all fine MacOS-native games. Thanks
to whomever did the port and caused me to waste a couple hours (more to
come) reliving my pre-FreeBSD days. BTW, it runs a heckuva lot smoother
on my PII-400 than on my now ex-Mac IIcx (68030 upgraded to 40MHz).
Bruce.
