This was only published on an old CD for the &amp;#x27;93 Hugo winners, and I had a devil of a time trying to find a copy (inter-library-loan, etc) before realizing someone had archived it on archive.org.  It is indeed well worth the time spent if you&amp;#x27;re a fan of &lt;i&gt;Fire&lt;/i&gt;.</text></comment>
