Cornerstone's VM (was: Cornerstone for Atari)

The Linchpin distro says “Cornerstone must be installed here” (in the Cornerstone directory), but it doesn’t include Cornerstone, so I went looking.

Then I went looking for software that reads PC floppy disk images, because man, people package that stuff in formats I’ve never heard of.

Anyway, long story short, I have located two versions of Cornerstone.

  • 5.1 from the Internet Archive.
  • 5.20 from a shady abandonware site that you can probably find but I won’t link to it.

I have added these to my Infocom catalog site:

I never intended to collect Cornerstone files, only games. But now people will go looking, and my page is an obvious place to look. So I might as well. I’m already ignoring Infocom Microsoft copyrights, right?

Are those the same versions that everybody else has? This is the first time I’ve tried to find Cornerstone.
