Carl – RE: your comment about a virus specific to the 'Bow… My thoughts at the time were that it was a virus specific to the IBM, so it was only _partially_ effective on the 'Bow! I dunno, but that does make a crazy kind of sense… there are enough differences in the BIOS that it may not have been able to attach itself completely, and it only manifested itself when certain applications (like this game) were run. Turns out that it was sloppy programming on my part, and once I was able to make it run or fail "on demand", I took a closer look at the code, with special attention to the cursor control commands. Please replace your version with the new one (when it's available), and have fun! Dennette
