Oh, and the copy protection sounds like it's turning your floppy drive to Swiss cheese, and it naturally makes you reboot after playing. I haven't played it in months. Anything that forces me to pull out a floppy and reboot my machine doesn't get much use. Sigh. (Funny thing is, it's not entirely a strict policy of mine, it just works out that way. Maybe I'm just lazy. I can say, though, that I've easily logged more hours playing a PD tetris program than all my other games combined. Why? It multitasks.) ________________ __________________ _________________________ //// \\// \\// \\\\ \\\\ Neil Weinstock //\\ att!cord!nsw or //\\ "Your hair is so... //// //// AT&T Bell Labs \\// nsw@cord.att.com \\// lustre-laden." - Moss \\\\ \\\\________________//\\__________________//\\_________________________////
