Got the demo - it seems to work fine.  Got the commercial version 
yesterday and the restore game / play demo features seems to be hosed. 

All I get is descent returning to DOS and an error:

"Error: File moon01.bbm - IFF error:  Cannot open file."

Any ideas?

(Not being able to restore saved games or play back demos seriously 
reduces the value of the game, IMO)

System:
486 SX2/66, 4 mb RAM, Soundblaster 16.
