The manual was pretty unclear here. What I need to do to get this to work is to (a) format the disk in Workbench (b) format using the Powermonger format command (c) save the game. This has worked great every time. The manual kidna implies that you can put a blank unformatted disk into PM and format it with their option, but this tends to hang or error. >2) The various query info windows will eventually offset themselves so far >down that they are unreadable.
