I've uudecoded it using a completely brain-dead one, and a more intelligent one on my home computer. Both copies worked perfectly.

Stargoose unpacked fine; runs fine for me; great game for the kids (I can't handle these kinds of games :-) But... I have found that my system clock runs about 3 times faster then it should after quitting the game. Anyone else have this problem? It's a pretty nice game; I'm surprised this was overlooked. The test I ran: check the real time 10 seconds apart - ok; run goose and quit during the startup banner; check the real time 10 seconds apart - ~30 seconds had ticked off. I know time flies, but .... I'd appreciate someone sending me info on the timer i/o port and appropriate values to reset the system timer for an xt class machine. It'd save having to reboot the machine every time the kids are done playing. Carl Petito

Yes, I have had this problem with Stargoose all along - I've been playing it for several months. This is why I downloaded this version - I had hoped it was a later release that solved this problem. No such luck! I am running it on a 16 mHz 286 machine and it's real irritating to watch the system clock running at about 3-5 times the normal speed. I'd appreciate any hints or suggestions that would save me from rebooting the machine after every time I play Stargoose. Thanks in advance. >Carl Petito -kevin kgowen@cie.uoregon.edu

I would also find information on the clock to be of interest. I set Stargoose up for my daughter over the holidays and found the same problem with the clock interval being reset--which at first led to some joy to my daughter with some other games and then complaints because she couldn't keep up with the new game speeds. She now has learned where the reset button is located. Merton

A fix program for sg has been received and will be posted shortly.

I have seen several requests about the format of the documentation file. There have been no answers. Doesn't anybody know?
