After Jerry brought up Lantastic on a Zenith and an AT&T machine (with much screaming in agony over the manual) Andy Finkel and I brought it up on the Amiga's PC side in about 10 minutes. The manual sucks dead cockroaches through glass hospital straws but the data needed WAS there. And it installed slick as you could ask for once we altered the LAN's IRQ address to avoid conflicting with what Janus software uses. The LAN never locked up for others even when we AMigan nerve pinched the A2000. Perhaps you're used to a funky setup LAN? {@_@} > >What are you doing? >-- > Peter da Silva `-_-' peter@sugar.uu.net > Have you hugged U your wolf today? -- Sometimes a bird in the hand leaves a sticky deposit.

Does the fair maiden ever {backbone}!gryphon!jdow win? Surely both the knight and dragon stink. Maybe the maiden should suicide? Better yet - she should get an Amiga and quit playing with dragons and knights.
