Does anyone have a copy of Hot Dog Stand by Sunburst Communications (copyright 1991) out there? I remember playing it in middle school and would like to do a video on it... and I'm sure others would appreciate if it were archived, too.

It's a black and white game where you are running a snack bar for the local school during football season; each week you're given a weather forecast and starting time for the game, and you have to order hot dogs, buns, chips, and sodas, and then price them.

Ok with the Apple II version? There's the older Survival Math program in the 4am collection of Apple II games...
Now I really want to find the original Mac version so I can do a comparison of the three versions (Survival Math on Apple II, Hot Dog Stand on Mac, and Hot Dog Stand: The Works on Mac/PC).

I actually managed to find someone that had contacted the developer of the original 1991 Mac version of Hot Dog Stand. Unfortunately, the original source code was lost because of a corrupted 3.5" floppy, so the guy who wrote it doesn't even have a copy. Looks like it really is truly lost software.
