assistant: Using the InterLink/LapLink type Parallel cable and the PIPX
software you can play IPX games, and Network software like Netware
for that matter. With PIPX (Parallel IPX) for networking two
computers you get a transfer speed of 40+Kbps. compared to 22Kbps
for Serial.
Just find the PIPX software and your set.

Ok, in Europe the official street release date was May 17th, I believe the

days earlier to make Duke3D available at release time.

the one picture near the left hand corner (the one thats shows a cop near the
theatre and a police car behind him) where is that level? Where is this cop
car? The only cop car that i have seen is in the Freeway level in episode 3,
but this cop car was flipped on its side. There is also one other picure in
the book, bottom right hand corner, the one where it shows duke on a roof and
there are a bunch of cops flying in those ships, where is this? Have these
been taken out from the registered version or have I missed these somewhere?

I set my sound card to the default IRQ5 and the result is the same.
I do not plan to use my modem to play, but it has a non-standard setting of
Com3, IRQ5. I have had trouble running it under any other settings, but I am
not that knowledgeable of how to change everything, so I really did not go

 wanted to find out how to get the full version of Dn3d.
I have the shareware version, or what ever it is, and while playing
the games will stop and a bunch of directory lines come up. Also,
I have the number for Clinton but would like to know how to get a
catalog of files that Apogee puts out.
  Is there a way to pay for it with my Credit card and download
some of the files?
  Last question, (for now) is the any educational software for my seven
year old along the lines of #1math. She plays it all the time, so I
need to find others to keep her attention on learning.
                      Thanks for the time.
