The first was something called Primus and consisted of a series of video card games such as bridge, etc. When this one started up, I got a blank screen. When I clicked on the mouse once or twice I then got a selection screen. The other was a recently posted demo called II Megs . I downloaded the BINSCII version and then converted in locally. When I ran GSHK on it, I was told there was a bad CRC on it. I told it to go ahead and had a disk uncompressed - but there appears to only be an empty directory on the disk. I though that perhaps it was a self booting disk, but when I tried to boot it I got a msg about a $DEAD error occuring... -- Larry W.
