I guess it might be my dumb luck, or a real problem, but the updated files kit labeled part 21 of 19 for the game omega was trucated. If somebody has this in an intact form and are willing to mail it to me please send me mail with your path, but not the file ( I do not want to be tagged as a net.hog ) and I will return a message with the best-fit path to cpro. I might even send a message to billr with the problem report. May the farce et al. J.R.

After renaming ocmds.c to occmds.c, I was able to compile and run with only the first 19 parts. Granted, I haven't played well enough or long enough to get off street level, but what do parts 20 and 21 do for me? For that matter, any suggestions for playing this sucker? My high score is in the high teens.... -- bob,mon (bobmon@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu) "`This must be deep' means `I can recognize all these words individually, but dam' if I can make any sense out of the order in which they currently appear....'" - Gil Scott Herron

Well, the first thing you want to do is get yourself outfitted better than you start. You can join either the Gladiators or the Mercenaries, but not both. Then you can enter the Games at the Coliseum to get additional cash (more if you're a gladiator). So far as I've found, it's faster getting cash in Rampart (i.e., the games), but all the nifty magic is out in the countryside. Right now, I'm trying to work my way to the bottom of the goblin caverns -- so far, I've had to cull my pack several times, and I've been dying with scores around 120-150 (my current high is 147). If you find the thieve's guild, they will identify items for you, but the "Jane's" scrolls are truly nifty.
