Both games are fabulous, IMHO. But, you use wrastop. That is a definite no-no for mgr. Once upon a time, I was going to port klondike over. But, as things happen, I know so little about the way those cards were bitmapped, I gave up. Since *you* must know what's going on, it will probably be easier for you. MGR has a much nicer bitblt interface than the default window driver. You can load the window driver, and get UA windows upon demand. It leaves security holes; the susp key can stop mgr's console lock. To be honest, I keep my machine at work running UA (cause I need the tek emulator), and mgr at home. I don't miss UA at all. >That is pretty much all that is keeping me from running mgr. Try the vidpal emulator. Then you'll be a convert to mgr. I guarantee you, you'll never regret the change. j -- Jeffrey L.
