OOPS. I sit corrected. I shall turn the option off. As a last resort, read the manual ! maurice -- Maurice Sharp MSc. Student (403) 220 7690 University of Calgary Computer Science Department 2500 University Drive N.W. sharp@cpsc.UCalgary.CA Calgary, Alberta, T2N 1N4 GEnie M.SHARP5

Is it just me or does Harpoon Crash at almost every game that you play. I am very disapointed in the bugginess of the product. It is such a good game that I do try to overlook the errors, but it gets really tiresome to have to save a game, and then quit, so that the finder records it and you donto 't lose the data when the game does crash. And yes it will crash at least twice a game. At LEast! .

At LEast! I had the same problem myself. My solution has let only to crashes get through since I implemented it, and I believe those two occasions, which was the Soviet Sub Surge played from the Soviet side, was caused by two many units on my side. I find increasing the memory allocated to 1000K seems to get rid of the crashes. But, since I run it only in the finder, that shouldn't make a diffence, right? Maybe having a 5 meg IIsi helps! :) On the note (brag!) of my model, I must say that it is a vast improvement my poor old 4 meg Plus. When I played Harpoon on it, I had to avoid all the big scenarios, for it would run at a snail's pace. A 20 mhz '30 chip solved that! | John Taggart Gorman Jr. | "I'm a no rust build up man myself." | | -Christian Slater | jtgorman@caslon.cs.arizona.edu | in 'Heathers'
