assistant: Hi, All!
I have a problem...
When I compleate level 3 (The Subteranian Hideout) the game just quits to
DOS...
When I go back into the game it dosn't show i've compleated level 3, so I
have to do it again, and again...
I still can't get past level 3, i've tried the LASKIP cheat and that just
returns me to the breifing for level 3 if not DOS, also the individual level
codes (LATESTBASE, level 4) and that returns me to the mission breifing for
level three as well...
Also does anyone know what the little red "E" next to the mission represents
??

Sounds like one of the compiled BASIC programs and it's famous garbage
collection routine.  If the program isn't well designed, every now and then
it has to stop and reorganize what's stored in memory.
You might try having EMM386 or your memory manager specifically set aside one
Meg as XMS.  However, this program may not know that upper memory even
ists.

On 15-Mar-98, Simon Stone was avidly discussing Dark Forces with All
Sorry Simon. Game Play discussion is specifically prohibited in this echo.
Try one of the dedicated gaming echoes.
8. Discussion of shareware games shall be limited to the shareware
   aspects of the game. That is, release notices; where can I find it,
   what's the latest version, what do I do to get it to work on my
   system? Hints on how to play, discussions of "how good is it," and
   comparison to other games is a no no! And, don't try to find cheat
   codes here. If the author wants you to have them, they'll be
   included in the registered version.
Thank you
