Glad to hear you like it, and (especially) that it has no trouble with the TT.

Did you extract it with 

	zoo x// hacman2.zoo

to get full paths?  I was hoping people would do this, but perhaps I 
should just upload it as an LZH file so there is no option...Too bad
compressed tars aren't standard on the ST.

To anyone who's had similar problems, please try extracting
full pathnames.  The game will NOT LIKE IT AT ALL if it finds files
missing, and NOTE that some files are only loaded when you get to certain
boards.  This means that if you don't have all the stuff in the right
places you may get to a board with no shapes, sounds, etc...

If anyone's having trouble, please D/L the new .LZH file at atari.archive
(to appear RSN).

Sorry about the confusion everyone.
