Could you be more accurate. When does it crash and so on? Have you mailed to aggaton@freja.diku.dk (the author) about bugs? The only crash that I know about occurs when you play Paladin and try to get into sewers. -- / TARIM! email: Sami.Koskinen@hut.fi / _ / Who would BELIEVE a sword could \/ get rusty enough to turn BLACK?

I don't think I can be more accurate, but I'll try to be more precise. The game will crash (apparently only on an American system) at the drop of a hat. It will not properly load in the beginning image (the one with the text), if manipulations are done with the menus and windows, it will swiftly crash, in several different ways. It may be that if I didn't use any window or menu it wouldn't crash. Unfortunately, I am need to use windows to bring up saved files, and so forth. I say that it appears to be related to window and menu operations, but that is only an impression, one that is perhaps partially motivated by the fact that that seems to be the only source of a difference between PAL and NTSC systems. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jonathan David Abbey \"Fortune presents gifts not according to the the university of texas at austin \ book" - Dead Can Dance "I've got to computer science/math?/psychology? \ jonabbey@cs.utexas.edu stay Awake..."
