   Hi!

      You don't need to make such a change! I have recently uploaded a
completely new omega port originated from the Unix version 0.75. It should
be less buggy (compared to the other ports I've been testing).
      I'm not sure about the guards, but I've never died when passing the
palladin's guild...
      My port is not just a conversion, but also an expansion of the original
game-play...It's a bit more (not much) Amigazed (File-requester, Menus, faster
display, yet no graphics)...The levels are kept on disk...It does not leak
memory...It only crashes (7-9-13 knock under the table) when an stack overflow
occurs...etc. Try it B-)
       It's called omega1_0.zoo (If its not recompacted to something else)
and should be on the nasa ftp base (I don't remember the hole address).
