Okay, okay, one more comment about mail order and I'll quit: my Visa company notified me that the $12?.?? charge-back I requested against Black Patch Systems (boo, hiss!!!) was credited to my account, so I called Tevex (800) 554-1162 and ordered the Pawn and Black Cauldron. They arrived, UPS, the *next day*. Speaking of the Pawn, can someone answer this for me: If I type HINT, and then the pairs of alphanumerics that the book lists, the thing says "Try again," or some equally frustrating message. Am I doing something wrong? I *KNOW* I'm not supposed to type in the < and > chars. I really need this, cause the guru is driving me crazy! Nope, I'm not affiliated with Tevex (or BP, in case that's not obvious). I'm just trying to keep others from making my mistake.... Comments and Hints to: Jim (moore@ncsc.arpa) Flames and Uglies to: Rick (rick@ncsc.arpa) cause he don't get no mail

I really need this, cause the guru > My copy of the Pawn came with an errata leaflet concerning typo's on the 'help' pages. You need that to make it work! It reads: "Please add the letters CO to the end of all the cyphered answers to avoid problems!" Hope it helps you.
