Hi Folks !

I don't understand your problems making Cubus run. Originally we developed
it on an A1000 /2.5MByte and tested it several months. (Tuning the
difficulty was the biggest problem :-)) Then, in march 91 I upgraded to an
A3000 and some minor changes were necessary to make it run under 2.0
But now, there shouldn't be any problems on a A3000 (my configuration:
A3000 PAL, 2+4MByte ram, KS Version 36.143, no fancy extras, too :-))

Was your problem unpacking Cubus on an A3000 or running the successfully
unpacked program?


When Cubus starts, it reads all data files and EXPECTS them to be correct.
If some file is scrambled, Cubus should exit immediately. I assume, you
don't hear any background music, do you ? 

I would further like to know what expansions you have on the A3000 and
what commands appear in your startup-sequence, if your problem is
running Cubus.


I packed it with Amiga lharc v1.30 and don't know, if there're differences
to UNIX lharc.

Finally, if there are enough requests, I consider releasing a NTSC version,
too. This requires adjusting all screen positions and modification of the
title and select screens, so this may take several weeks.
