Newsgroups: comp.sys.amiga.games Subject: Zap and Mental Hangover Message-ID: <44329@nigel.ee.udel.edu> Date: 11 Feb 91 16:23:12 GMT Sender: mmdf@ee.udel.edu Lines: 15 I recently downloaded the mentalhangover.ZAP file from ab20, along with the zap.lzh file needed to decompress it. Well, I follow the directions in the Zap.doc file by typing ZAP W MENTALHANGOVER.ZAP from ram: when both files are in my ram disk. I get the message "ABOUT TO WRITE TO DF0:, PRESS RETURN." When I press "return", however, the pointer flashes with blue colors for a few seconds, after which the entire screen fills with animated garbage. The computer then crashes, without a guru. I tried this several times, but wound up having to reboot each time. I have an A500 with 1 MB. Has anyone gotten Zap to work for any files? How? Thanks for any help.
