Default Stat + Skill system

I found an obscure percentile rpg from the nineties that uses a fairly unique method (as far as I know) of combining stat plus skill to arrive at base percentages for final skill totals. Is anyone here interested in something like that? I don't know what all the options are in the new BRP book, but I do know that not everyone is happy with the usual BRP ways of doing it. This is not a BRP system (it is radically different in combat) but the skill system would be a good addition to a game for anyone who likes to have a system wherein the stats have more 'say' in the total skill percentage than in most every BRP variant I can think of. It's a really neat little variant, too; if anyone here wants to know more, holler.

Of course, some of you may already be aware of this game. 'Legend of Yore'. It had a very short run in the late nineties due a rather horrible binding job. My copy essentially disintegrated when I opened it the first time, so I took it to Kinkos and got a coil binding. It was worth the trouble just for the skill subsystem.
