There is one problem with it though. Whenever you get "killed" you have to start over. This is pretty frustrating when you start getting up to levels 3 or 4 and over. I found a fix. Use Copy //+ to sector copy it. This removes the copy protection. Then, use sector edit to change the first byte of sector 1F 07 to 04 which restores the saved status. Now whenever you get to a new level save the game. You can start from here on subsequent tries. I make about six copies so that I can try a level several times without getting my sector editor back out. bob church bchurch.oucsace.cs.ohiou.edu
