I could have sworn that I'd run Continuum 1.01 on my 4MB IIcx (System 6.0.3), but trying it today I see that I can't get it to go. With uniFinder, no Ram cache, screen at 1, 16, or 256 colors, it gets to the high score screen (after the 'Quit' 'Reserve 2nd' dialog), but crashes (ID=1) if I try to start a game. Only inits are SUM HD partition (need the Games partition) and the "2nd screen " init that comes with continuum. Under multiFinder I got the looping dialog described above by Ken. This is very unfortunate as Continuum is an otherwise fantastic game. Any ideas? -Jon -- ----- Jon L Spear: jspear@gryphon.COM !gryphon!jspear gryphon!jspear@elroy.jpl.nasa.gov "With computers we can make billions of mistakes every second!"
