It's just appeared on the front of PC Action here in Britain, and they rave over it, calling it the best shareware game ever. They've also got it on the coverdisk. What I'd like to know is how did they manage to get it all onto one disk?? iD's own version on ftp.uwp.edu (and others) is in two 1.4Mb files, and I've never seen a version that took up less than two disks. Any idea about how they've done it? ----------------------------------------- Chris Owen - tr9...@black.ox.ac.uk -----------------------------------------
