Just goes to show really that usenet can be a harsh place when others are
not aware of your intentions. I've already apologised for my outburst, I
accept it was unwarranted. Yes I jumped to what may seem to you to be an
illogical conclusion, but when you've been around and dealt with a good deal
of people as I have you'd be surprised at exactly how many of them are
trying to get the game (or any any game, for that matter) for nothing.
Insulting you was never the intention - letting you know that, if you had
not actually got the game, that you weren't welcome here - was.

By all means ask. The attitude of one doesn't necessarily represent those of
others. I flew off the handle - it happens.

Good!

Ah well, that actually makes more sense. I didn't realise (you never
actually said?) you were trying to patch the game with the PPak. In which
case the original game would *have* to be already installed for the patch to
do its work. I concede that you are correct... *grin*

I've only ever bought v1.3d and the Atomic Edition, hence my natural
assumption. JonoF's port works with just the GRP file from both of them -
which is why I couldn't understand your difficulty.
