>>Allen, I doubt you have the Atomic edition since E1L8 is a user level,
meaning it is whatever you want it to be. I don't know which map is
referred to.<<

Gary;

As you should know from your prior posting asking if I'm the same ARR29
from AOL, (which I answered yes), I have both the original and Atomic
Editions of Duke.
If you read my posting carefully, you will see that I said I had seen
the level, that the original person was referring to, only as a user
made
level. Therefore, I was suprised that when I ran KEXTRACT on the
DUKE3D.GRP file of the Atomic Edition, that I did, indeed, extract the
level mentioned. (This is a level that is just a covered hexagon area on
a moonscape, with a bunch of powerups laying around). Since I now have a
new computer, and the version of the Atomic Edition I installed was a
fresh install, and I never had the user made level on this computer, I
doubt that other than being provided in the original DUKE3D.GRP file,
that I would have this level. 

To verify this, I just did another install of the Atomic Edition on
another partition and extracted the level from the Duke3d.grp file. It
is the level that was asked about in the original posting. I have read
the User.con file many times over the past four years and know what
levels it says are in what episodes. (It lists levels that do not
exists. Such as E1L9, E1L10, E1L11). Whether or not this level was made
by a user, 3D Realms saw fit to include it. I never said it was made by
3D Realms, only that it is, indeed, included in the Duke3d.grp file. My
statements were that I had only seen it as a user made level.
