It is to avoid such things that I ask contributors to give me the module
number that their info comes from so a user of the list can then evaluate
the extent of any such risk.  Very few people actually supply the module
number.  In view of the above statement I suggest people make this a
habit.

There is only one NIC game in the UK at the moment.  I this kicked off at
about the same time as NIC4 in the states I think.  I would suspect that
NIC1 UK is therefore most compatible with NIC 4 or less in the US.
