I recently bought PowerMonger for my A3000, and haven't been able to make a working backup copy of the game. The duplicate I make (using DiskCopy, as the Command Summary Card states), will get to the opening music/castle picture without a hitch and continue reading stuff off the disk after I click on the left mouse button. After reading ~8 tracks of data, however, the game will freeze. If I use the original PowerMonger disk, the game will continue on past this point and into normal play. Has anyone else had this problem, and can anyone suggest a solution? Thanks. (BTW, I'm running the game under 1.3 at all times). -Dave Schreiber davids@cup.portal.com

I've received several replies to my question about making a backup of the PowerMonger master disk. One person told me that I needed a disk copier with "Index Sync." More specifically, I was told that Marauder II and Project D should do the trick. Another person told me that the freely-distributable program PCopy (on fish disk #402) will also make a working copy of PowerMonger. I don't have either of the two commerical products, or a second floppy drive (which PCopy requires), so I can't vouch for any of these solutions. Nevertheless, thanks to everyone that responded. -Dave Schreiber davids@cup.portal.com

ANY disk copier (execpt diskcopy perhaps) will do a backup of powermonger in normal mode. If you don't have a second drive, DFC (fish disk 447) will copy it with only one drive... -- Colas Nahaboo, colas@sa.inria.fr, Bull Research, Koala Project, GWM X11 WM Phone:(33) 93.65.77.70(.66 Fax), INRIA, B.P.109 - 06561 Valbonne Cedex, FRANCE.
