Come ON!  You expected support from EnemaWare?  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
The world would be a far, far better place if they just ceased to exists.
I wrote them a polite letter last year concerning some of the (many) flaws
in TVS:F.  I got a reply laced with phrases such as:
"If you knew anything at all about programming..."
"We have to reboot after every game because the Amiga OS is so bad..."
[note: perhaps they should speak to Bethesda, or even (ugh) EA, who apparently
       don't have this problem]
"We see nothing wrong with our copy protection scheme or our disk replacement
  policy..."
[you MUST boot off the MASTER disk.  THey charge $10 for a replacement disk.
 We all know that floppies don't cost $10]

EnemaWare is one of the examplars of the phrase "Caveat emptor!"

Think again before you buy something from them.
