I sure hope this isn't true.  I just spent a bundle getting the Japanese
version imported, because the Canadian edition has supposedly been
deleted for some months now (since at least Nov. 92).  I'd be really
pissed if they re-release it (due to slobberingly faithful fans like
me going out of my way to get a copy).  I won't tell you how much I
spent; at 16,000 Yen and a Canadian dollar hovering somewhere not
quite around $0.80 U.S., you can figure it out.  (The yen was reputedly
quite high at the time -- (sob), as Fiona might say.)

No, I don't want sympathy.  I just wanted to vent.

Peace,

Kent
