I to had problens with getting the trench simulator running.  But if you
recall it was in binhex.hex format, I seemed to remember someone saying
that spaces were significant or some such.  I finally noticed that binhex 
version four was making a 0k resource file hmmm... got out the trusty editor 
and sure enough there were lines that were "physically" shorter than others
also the whole file was double spaced.  Well after deleting all those
lines and padding the short lines.  I tried version four and got
a 3k file that works fine.  How bout we all try and use version four
because that format seems to work nicest for transfers.  If you haven't 
got it I'd be glad to send it to you as I'm sure many others would be.

Hope this helps.

PS. I tried the file with the double spacing intack but padded and
    it was no go.
