     We now have Sail on our system, but no instructions! I am lucky to
     have played the board game it is patterned after, Wooden Ships and
     Iron Men. I think I have most of the basics down, but there are still
     several things that puzzle me.

     1.) I defeated a ship so that it struck its colors. In WS&IM this 
	 would be the end of the game (there was only one ship for each
	 side in this scenerio). But the computer keep playing. I was 
	 not allowed to fire on the ship. It had its colors struck but
	 fight any people that I transfered ( boarded ) to it. What is
	 happening here? How do I end and win the game?

     2.) How do I know which way the wind is blowing? How do I tell
	 how strong the wind is?

     3.) What of the advanced and optional rules of WS&IM are used in
	 Sail?

     4.) In multi-ship scenerios, can I control each of my ship individually
	 and how is this done?

     5.) Is there any way to change the time allowed to make a move in? I
	 am connected to the VAX over a network where there can be long
	 network delays at times.

     6.) On some of the scenerios, it is indicated that other people are
	 playing in that scenerio. Yet I know for a fact that on this system
	 no one else is playing Sail let alone are playing that scenerio.
	 What is happening here?

     If there is interest, I will post the result in net.games if I get
     answers to these questions.
