Write your reply.

assistant: Mr. Nelson,
Well now I'm going to tell you one thing I never once called you a
nobody. But if that is what you think about yourself than so be it. I
was just commenting on your excessive use of foul language and flaming
of others just because they disagreed with you on something. But I'll
have to admit that I was using computers back when the 8086's were out
and the fastest modem was 1200 baud.
Now I seem to have learned that childish behaviour like yours seems to
be common in all of the Fido net conferences. So I am dropping all of my
fido net conferences as of this message to you and I am going back to
U'ni Net were there isn't all of the childish flaming going on like
there is here in Fido Net. It seems that the rules set forth in this and
other fido net conferences were made for a select few.
So do me a favor and don't waste your time in replying to this message
because I won't get it. You see Mr. Siegler made it plain to me on the
rules for which I was following to a "T" but yet I got reprimanded by
my Sysop for it.
This is the reason for which I'm dropping all fido net conferences. The
rules are only made for a select few to follow.

engine to find the data files. (P.S. replace the path I showed with your own)
It is a lot better than throwing all your files into one big directory!!!

I never tried the parental lock of Duke3d. But, does it also remove the

I agree with the fact that such a language should not be used on the echo
(on NO echo at all), but I think that the people shouldn't overreact about
that. And if you don't agree with what has been said, you should say it by
Netmail... As you don't know who is the moderator, I can say you never read
the rules of his echo (they are posted by the moderator) and thus that you

I have tried it in 640x480 and 800x600, the video card is supposedly VESA

is using a DX4-100 and a Trident video card.

item. It seems as my PC would load something from the HD in this time.
Now my configuration:

THX if anyone can help me.

It's the same in Germany! The old men had 'indexed' for instance DOOM II
because of the possibility to warp into a secret Wolfenstein-Level

But without the cheatcodes nobody was able to warp there!!!
The reason to prohibit Wolfenstein was: 'Wolfenstein glorifies the facism'

work, and COMMIT in the SW-Version worked just fine. But in your case
they both don't work, so I think you should ignore this solution... :(
