I have just talked to Gar Olmstead, from HMS/GRD, and he has asked that I do not distribute the gameboxes I created for Europa games. His concern is with the high-quality scans of the maps that could be easily retrieved from the gameboxes, which would be in violation of HMS/GRD's copyrights.
It will use a public key/private key encryption: a command line tool will allow anyone to encrypt using the public key, and only ZunTzu will be able to decrypt with the private key.

Well, I'm sure that games for other platforms didn't spring up immediately after they were released, this takes time.
Personally, I have created more than a dozen ZunTzu gameboxes already, but I'm waiting for Jerome to add the encryption scheme (that he mentioned above in this thread) before I distribute them.
The new version 1.2 is almost done (but then I've been saying that to myself since September ).
Anyway, I suppose I can rush out a version with the support for encrypted artwork and have lclaudius check it out.

Jerome, don't rush out anything on my account --- I'd rather have it right than quick. After all, we've been waiting since September...
