It is very enjoyable and puts to shame the BreakApp "game" that is part of the standard 2.0 release. Secondly, I would like to know how to tell my 2.0 system to try to execute some of the 1.0 binary files I've loaded from Purdue. I have used chmod 666 program.name to make the file executable but I am denied access when I try to run these (for the record, the applications are NX_VOID and AltDock ). I was able to get Tetris to work without any problems. (I assume that Tetris did not have music at 1.0 because it doesn't have it at 2.0) With the other two programs, the default application is Edit. If you have any suggestions let me know through Usenet or at either e-mail below. Thanks!
