Does anyone know what my promlem is? Did you remember to download them to your PC in binary mode? Everything else looks right. I would wait to get these files. Speaking as the person who put the program there, it is very buggy. When I tested it before posting, I was able to go deep into the dungeon without any problems, but that may have been because I kept leaving my dog behind. Anyway, afterwards I discovered that the bug I thought I had fixed was still there. I'll try to get a new version there as soon as the bug is fixed. - - - - - - - - - - Steve Creps, Indiana University, Bloomington, "home of the Hoosiers" creps@silver.bacs.indiana.edu (192.12.206.2) {pur-ee,ihnp4!inuxc,rutgers,pyramid}!iuvax!silver!creps creps@iubacs.bitnet (forwarded) "To dream... the unlintable dream..."
