I had all but given up on playing when I found this resource. This fresh input has revived my love. I noticed a request for Sledgehammer in the most-wanted list. I found the following crd for this at another site. The originators address is at the top. I attempted to contact him/her to see if they minded me forwarding this to you but couldn't get mail through to that address. I kinda figured if it was in a public ftp directory they might not mind it being spread around. I am sending the file intact incase you or anyone else wishes to attempt to contact him/her. Again thanks for being there and doing all this for all of us.
