   The code is simple.  I'm running from memory here, so some small details
may be missing.

   When you start a new game, spend ALL of your money in the first year.  You
must spend all of your money so that you will go into bankruptcy in the next
year.  Then, when the taxes screen comes up in December, hold down the LEFT
button on the pad, and select OK WHILE STILL HOLDING DONW THE LEFT BUTTON.
Do not change any of the values now.  Now, go up to the menus and select taxes.
Then, put the spending percentages back to 100% and then exit the screen.
Then exit the menus.  NOW RELEASE THE LEFT BUTTON.  You should have maximum
money now.

        Well, sort of.

        What windows accellerators have is an onboard graphics
coproccesser.  Depending on the proccessor, this very well might be able
to move a german guard across the screen.  There is one slight catch - It
can only do this _if_ the program has a driver for that particular card.
If it doesn't, you won't get any benifit from the graphics accellerator,
and in the case of S3 accellerator, you will get a slight penalty in
performance.  Note that Local Bus cards are an acception - local bus is a
bus standard that will help any graphics intensive application.

Here's something to ponder:
 This is an actual alert to IBM Field Engineers that went  out  to
   all  IBM  Branch  Offices.   The  person  who  wrote  it was very
   serious.  The rest of us may find it rather funny.

   -------
   Abstract:  Mouse Balls Available as FRU (Field Replacement Unit)
   Mouse balls are now available as  FRU.   Therefore,  if  a  mouse
   fails  to operate or should it perform erratically, it may need a
   ball  replacement.   Because  of  the  delicate  nature  of  this
   procedure, replacement of mouse balls should only be attempted by
   professionals.
   Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining
   the  underside  of  the mouse.  Domestic balls will be larger and
   harder  than  foreign  balls.   Ball  removal  procedures  differ
   depending  upon  manufacturer of the mouse.  Foreign balls can be
   replaced using the pop-off method.  Domestic balls  are  replaced
   using  the  twist-off method.  Mouse balls are not usually static
   sensitive.  However, excessive  handling  can  result  in  sudden
   discharge.  Upon completion of ball replacement, the mouse may be
   used immediately.
   It is recommended that each replacer have a pair of  spare  balls
   for  maintaining  optimum  customer  satisfaction,  and  that any
   customer missing his balls  should  suspect  local  personnel  of
   removing these necessary items.
   To re-order, specify one of the following:
   P/N 33F8462 - Domestic Mouse Balls
   P/N 33F8461 - Foreign Mouse Balls

        I have had excellent service from "Chips & Bits", a computer game
company that advertises in Computer Gaming World.  Their prices are
generally $10-$15 below retail stores, and ship to you within a week.  A
strongly recommend them.

of dough & get a Sega or Nintendo or something like that?  Think of all the
cartridges you could by with the thousands you save!

        I do not agree/disagree with hacking, but can I make a point
that was made by various owners of small software companies who used
to program games on the ZX Spectrum sometime ago. The software
industry at that point only survived in that form because of Pirates.
Why? Simple, if no-one pirated software everyone would by the top few
titles, and nothing else -- If you had 10 pounds to spend on a game
then you would buy the best you could. THE SOFTWARE COMPANIES ARE NOT
LOOSING OUT WHAT IT MEANS IS THAT THERE ARE MORE PROGRAMMERS OUT THERE
LIVING OFF OUR MONEY AND NOT (IF NO PIRATING OCCURED) VERY FEW
PROGRAMMERS OUT THERE LIVING VERY WELL OFF OUR MONEY. The PC software
market will soon dry up games wise I believe if people couldn't
pirate.

        Sorry for rambling but this is true.

        PIRATING earns (smaller) companies more than it looses.

        On another point, about mail order -- if you're in the UK, I
would strongly reccomend SPECIAL RESERVE for games software!

Subject:      Re: disk compression

I don't use Windows, but I do use Stacker with a coprocessor card and a
120 Meg drive.  If I remember right, the only "incompatibility" the manual
mentions is the fact that the Windows swap file cannot be on the "Stacker"
drive (i.e. the virtual drive that contains the compressed files).  But you
may have some info that I don't.  Anyway, I have found that even with Stacker,
many games don't compress very much.  I think that most games are fairly well
compressed already.  I have not found any file that after being "compressed"
ended up being larger than the original file.  So Stacker probably does help
free up as much space as possible.  It doesn't really double the space on my
disk, probably gives me in the range 1.2x-2x the space, depending on what
kind of files I have on the disk.

Hi Nasir.  Glad to help you along.
 
NH1. What can I do with the baby tears.

Have you gotten the spell book from the bookstore owner yet ? It's one 
of the ingredients you need for a spell (remember there are more than 
one page - use Hand icon to go to another page).

NH2. What to do with the inscripted code on the Rock in the island..

For this, you need the guide book - check the Logic Cliff section. 
Basically you have to figure out which clue applies to which puzzle.
Make sure you save often here as you may slip...

If you've have specific problems with the puzzles, just leave your 
questions here.

Good luck, Nasir.

I played Ultima II and Ultima IV on my Commodore a long time ago and I though
Ultima II was kinda easy but fun.  It is the one Ultima where you can steal
and beat the crap out of everyone in the game and not get in trouble.  You
only run one character, but he can carry alot of stuff.

The theory behind the compression programs is this:  They make a HUGE file,
as large as you tell the install program.  Once it is in place, a driver
is loaded to redirect any writes to the 'NEW' drive to the compressor, which
compresses the file you are writing as it writes to this HUGE file.  This
means that when you remove these utilities, you remove this file, which
basically is your HD.
The basic problem of 'on-the-fly-compression' is a program that wants to
write directly to the HD.  Some cache programs (like Windows Smartdrv.exe)
do this.  Results can be VERY strange.  I've played with smartdrv.exe with
Stacker and SuperStor to see what would happen.  The most frequently
occurring problem was infinite subdirectories -- each subdirectory off of
the root directory on the compressed drive pointed to itself.  You could
cd 6 or 7 times to the same directory, and would not be told of an error.
It's very strange to see your $p$g prompt look like:
C:\TEMP\TEMP\TEMP\TEMP\TEMP\TEMP\TEMP>
and have all the files look the same.

A better option, I believe, would be to ARJ all the games, delete the games
themselves, and write batch files for each game to unarj the game to a
specific directory and run the game.  Once you exit the game the batch file
would update the arjfile with any new or changed files, then delete the
game files.  This is a slower method, but it save LOTS of space once you
have compressed all the games and deleted the old files.  This will save
more space than stacker/superstor because arj (when told to MAX compress)
will take time to make it smaller.  This only has to be done once per game,
because you only need to do updates once you have the arjfile.

Good luck.  The other possibility is to ask Santa for a HD. }9-D
