Thanks for mirroring this! This was only published on an old CD for the '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're a fan of Fire.


Is this annotated version on the archive.org CD? I couldn't find it in https://archive.org/download/hugo_nebula_1993


you have to open hugo.zip, or click on the view contents link beside it


Yes, I did that. I see in there the vinge novel but NOT the version with annotations.


The annotations are there in the RTF files, but there is something quirky about the format of those RTF files - perhaps they predate standardization or something. If you open one of the RTFs in a straight text editor like emacs or vi, you'll see them. There was a bit of discussion around this here, a few years ago, when this version was re-released [1]
