FLAME-ON:
	Having used Tandy equipment for 4 years, I would love to know who
suckered you into buying a 1000 TL.  Yes, that is right suckered.  The
Tandy 1000 line is the most incompatible for any IBM compatible made today
or  yesterday, bare none.  I have a bridge in Brooklyn that will let you
connect that Tandy to anything!  Real Cheap too!

FLAME-OFF.

	Having not used the software in question, I would say it is the
combination for the reasons I have given above, but not let Denise Tanner
hear I said it.  If the joystick is Tandy, that could also be the problem.
