Randy,

Thanks for the advice.  Further messing around has shown me that I can in fact
use the Build program  that came with Duke and it goes into 3D fine.  But the
Build program that came with SW doesn't go into 3D properly.  Unfortunately,
when I load an SW map into the Duke Build program, everything is rendered in
Duke forms.  So that doesn't really help much.

I have also tried copying the the Goodies directory from the SW CD directly
onto the HD.  This doesn't seem to be the answer.  In fact, with that copy of
Build, I cannot even go into the 2D mode.  Just get an error message that
320x200 graphics aren't supported.  Seems to be something to do with setup.
The copy of SW Build that was installed on the HD when I installed SW at least
goes into 2D mode OK.
