	I'm stuck.   I'm playing Wizardry 'Knight of Diamonds' scenario and
I have all the good pieces of armor.  I go up to answer the riddle of the 
spinx and it steals my armor after I input 'man' as a response to the
riddle.  What's the correct response? or is there one?
	Please help I'm tired of losing my armor and I WANT the staff!

First of all, you don't have to enter the center room on the first level to
be asked the question.  Simply try and answer the riddle on the sixth level
where instead of losing all your armour, you are simply teleported back one
space.  I hate going back to get all the armour, except that it's kind of
nice to get all the experience points again.  As for the answer, whoever
knows it, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me too!  I finished the whole game in
about a week of solid playing back in early May, and I still have no clue
as to the answer to the riddle.

One other thing I'd like to ask.  Durring the course of regular playing,
at some point durring an expedition into the dungeon some of my characters'
alignments were changed (evil to good - I don't know about the reverse since
I hate whimpy good characters :-) and when I disbanded I couldn't get back
the same group of people.  Has anyone had a similar experience?  Does anyone
know why this happens?  Help me keep my family together!
