     Boy, this game never seems to get any easier.  Anyway, I am having
a MAJOR problem on Level 1 of Mayhem called Metal Works.  Whoever
designed this board was nice enough to make sure the door that the lemmings
come out of is too far above the metal floor.  Thus, all the lemmings die
as soon as they hit the ground.  How does one stop the lemmings from falling
to their death?
     I have one idea that might work that I used on an earier board where
there was a similar problem.  If I save the first guy with one of
the few parachutes they give you, I could start him building bridges.  If I
could make the bridge high enough, the Lemmings wouldn't fall as far, and they
would live.  The only problem with this is that you don't get too many
bridges and it looks like you need quite a few of them later on in the board.
Also, when the lemmings come on to the board, they will walk to the right.
In order to make the bridge idea work, they really have to be walking to the
left, or I'll waste even more bridges.  Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to
be an easy was to turn them around.  
     I've gone through 3/4 of the game, and it's a pain to be stuck on the
FIRST level of the LAST section.  Anyway, any help would be appreciated.
Probably would be best to send E-Mail...Thanks in advance..
