#The fix is in file osave.c at line ~610 (counted by hand, so don't take
#as gospel).  There is a sequence of lines in restore_player that looks like:
#
#------
#-    #ifndef MSDOS
#-        fread((char *)&(Objects[i].known),sizeof(int),1,fd);
#-    #else
#         fread((char *)&(Objects[i].known),sizeof(Objects[i].known),1,fd);
#-    #endif
#------
#(I added the minuses at the beginning of lines 1, 2, 3 and 5.)  Just
#remove the lines starting with the minus and everything should work ok.
#(The problem is that Objects[i].known is type 'uchar', not int.  I don't
#know how it worked for Laurence.)

That is what I did originally.  However, if you look at the release code, 
there is only one "fread" and "fwrite" in the code with the MSDOS dependency
removed.  That is why I didn't include the "bug fix" as the beta bug no
longer exists.
