Last night I downloaded the Lemmings demo (LemmingsDemo.zom) from ab20 and so far I haven't been able to make it run. The only visible icon is the Psygnosis/DPaintIII icon which, when clicked upon, requests the DPaintIII disk. I tried looking in the directory through a shell and found "Lemmings!!!". I tried to run that file and it blanked the screen and made some disk noise for a while. I shut it down after about a minute of that because I wasn't certain that it was doing anything. What am I missing :-( Tim Leonard tim@lenti.med.umn.edu

Thanks to all of you who helped me wake up and boot the lemmongs demo from df0:. I gave a copy to a friend, who does not have net access and within a day he had bought the whole game. This demo idea may be the best idea a development company can use to promote large, early sales. Tim Leonard
