I have two questions concerning DM.

First, I think my disk may be going bad and causing some problems
for me. Every now and then I get a requestor for the DM disk even
though I never took it out. I click on okay and the game resumes.
My problem is that after many hours of playing, my party suddenly
dies and the end of game scroll with the programmer credits comes
up. This has happened the last few times I have played. My chars
were not in danger, they were well fed, then suddenly dead. Is
this some insane disk based protection scheme that kills everyone
if the disk fails more than a couple times in one session?

Second, I have only been playing for a short time now (a week or
two) and I am presently fighting through level five (calling the
hall of champions level one). I read somewhere that there is a
stairway on level four leading to a room full of screamers that
regenerates when you close the door. I went back and searched
but couldn't find it. I did see a stairway when using x-ray
vision/phasedoor/whatever you call the spell, but couldn't
walk through the wall to get to it. I was able to walk through
to the couple other "hidden" rooms on level four but couldn't
get to that stairway. Is that the stairway I am looking for, or
is it somewhere else? I hate to ask for cheats, but how do I get
to that *#$% stairway (it was in a corner a few turns away from
the exit, just past the portcullis - I think).

Any help on either topic would be appreciated.
