I have played BDC on a Mac ED with (I think) only 512K, and only one internal 800K drive. After play has started, you won't have to swap! (The game supposes that the disk on which "BDC Data B" is located is called "BDC 2") A symptom of a small memory is that some sounds are not present, e.g. the copter won't make sound in the Swamp level. And now for something completely different: In both DC and BDC's Data A, there is a DLOG (with ID=200), that suggests that it might be possible to record a demonstration. The dialog has buttons like "Record" and "Play Demo". Does someone know if the possibility to record demos is built into (B)DC, or is the DLOG just a remnant, and is the accompanying code not present in the program as it is distributed??? >Michael S.
