Hail!
I've got an enigma! When I try to load a saved game or *.dem file through 
DESCENT, it crashes and say's it can open a file called moon01.bbm or 
something like that! What's going on! I can't load my saved games! I 
can't load DEMO's! Help! Please!

This might help in solving this puzzle:
I have:
486DX, 66Mhz, 4Mb RAM
DESCENT (Registered) - CD ROM DOS VERSION
DOS 6.2
SoundBlaster 8bit - Sound and Music

PS - I know it's not a memory problem!

Thank's!

Try setting FILES=15 or FILES=30 in the CONFIG.SYS file.  This is almost
assuredly the problem.  (I'm not sure how many files are necessary; 15 works
for me, but some people have reported needing 30 or 40).

	This has been posted here already about 20 times.  Increase your 
FILES statement in your CONFIG.SYS.

The number that this needs to be is directly related to the number of
drivers/TSR's and other such things that are loaded at boot time.
