I don't know....  When I played it, I don't think I had any mixed
classes.  Perhaps the game crashes if you don't follow the race and
alignment restrictions?  Worth a try.... (by the way, I played on a
Mac Plus w/ System 6.0.4; maybe it's a system problem....)

I really enjoyed it; doing things in my usual unorthodox fashion, I
happened to stumble upon the Pool by 10% guile and 90% luck....

If anyone wants some spoilers, post your requests.  It's a tough ending
in the game -- took me three tries to just finish the last room!!
