This would be annoying.  I've been playing off a hard disk (which is
very smooth), and wasn't aware of the problem.  How often does one 
have to switch disks?

The belfry is misleading.  Both sides appear identical, unless I suppose,
you have a direction spell going.  One side has a locked door for which you
need the Bell Key (which is located in a dungeon somewhere, which you
will find after you find the altar, etc.).  When you swing, sometimes
you make it across, and sometimes not.  The only way to tell is to
try the door.

Meanwhile, swinging on the rope is a great way to get experience points.
I would swing there until the whole party is about level 4-5.

Not sure what you mean about snakes.  There is a puzzle to solve here.
If you push all the right buttons, you will be able to make all the
pits go away, and will find a treasure chest (I forget what is in it).

You need the Key of RAAM (located in the main level, in the room with
the blood stain in the middle of the floor).  Then you need to get into
the King's bedroom, and use the key to open some gates there.  This will
lead you to that altar room and some other goodies.  Eventually you must
find the Deadman's Log and a Coder ring, which will reveal where the
treasure is buried.  Tell Queequeg where the treasure is, and he will
tell you the password.

There are several gates in the castle that you won't find keys for until
much later.  Also, doors that appear Wizard Locked (the Spade Door, the
Gem Door, the Belfry Door) just need special keys.

This is a great game!!
