    Well, for one thing, DEVIL needs to run in a directory off your 
descent directory, as in c:\descent\devil.  When it gives you that error, 
it is probably looking for the file descent.pig in the wrong directory.  
  So just move your DEVIL directory (and macros and levels) so that it 
branches off your descent directory.  If that still doesn't work, e-mail 
me.
