Okay, for all those who can't stand the thought of going without saving, here's 
the solution:

There's a program called the Game Wizard.  It's a TSR that doesn't take up much 
memory.  While in a game, it lets you shell to DOS, alter game settings, and 
best of all --- save anywhere, anytime.  The demo for it is FTPable at 
FTP.UWP.EDU in /pub/ms-dos (i think)/romulus/cracks.  GWIZ.ZIP or something 
like that.  The demo only lets you shell to DOS and do some basic twiddling 
with memory.  The full version for $40 lets you save.

BTW, I'm in no way associated with the makers of Game Wizard.  I'm only posting 
this in the hopes that someone will buy it and let us know if it works well 
with Descent.  Selfish?  Yes, but I can just keep playing for a 1/2 hr at time 
no problem.
