My Amiga is 512k. Sounds like you've got something really strange on your system. I would expect the file not to load if it got munged at all. I just checked it on my office Amiga, with 7 megs of memory, and it ran just fine, so it's not a problem with running on a machine with normal FAST memory. It's possible that there's something strange about your additional memory, though if this is the only thing you've had trouble with, I doubt it. Anyway, for everyone's benefit, here are the file lengths from my master disk: adv.key 20288 adv.rec 130516 Adventure.info 938 Adventure 26208 All the others are pure text, and very short. They shouldn't be any trouble. If you've got anything that's obviously munged, send me MAIL and I'll reply with a fresh copy. And hopefully I'll get the whole thing to Fred Fish (sources, etc. too) so the UUDECODE steps can be bypassed by those with better things to do with all this expensive computer hardware. > -Ed Puckett. -- Dave Haynie Commodore-Amiga Usenet: {ihnp4|caip|rutgers}!cbmvax!daveh "The A2000 Guy" BIX : hazy "Catch a wave and you're sittin' on top of the world" -tewve ve vd
