It uppercases the arguments, remember?? After bashing _my_ head against the wall for a bit, I remembered this, fired up gulam (thank you Jwahar Bammi!) and typed zoo x//. hacman2.zoo *.* to extract it into the current directory. Great game, Dave! Nice to have a decent game that can be put on the HD. Anyone know how to put Stunt Track Racer, DM I & II, Arkanoid II, GoldRunner II, and a few other of my favourite entertainment software titles on the hard drive? By the way, what are people's experience with Space Ace? I just got a brand new floppy that seems to work great on everything I have, except of course on my friends Space Ace game. Two of my friends can boot it, but nobody else seems to be able to. What do I do about it? -- John Schmitt johns@maccs.dcss.mcmaster.ca ...!unet!utai!utgpu!maccs!johns
