  Why the sudden attitude? I never said nor implied that you don't know what
you're talking about, I merely commented - in response to what Richard
posted about the readme- on the fact that the documentation that came with
the download wasn't particularly comprehensive.

 I never stated, hinted, nor implied that I was trying to get somebody to
give me the games, and I find your leap of illogic both ludicrous and
obnoxious.
  In point of fact, I own all the CDs (original Duke, PPak, a couple of
DukeZone CDs, and 2-3 add-on packs) - bought them years ago-  and although I
didn't spell it out in so many words, you could have figured that out from
the fact that I said I'd had trouble getting them to install/run on XP.
  I lost the original installation a couple of years ago when I needed to
wipe my HD; hadn't re-installed yet when I upgraded to XP. It's been awhile
(over a year) since I tried to reload my Duke3D stuff, so I don't remember
exact details, but my recollection is that something wouldn't install under
XP - either the PPack, or the patch that fixes the memory bug.

 If you have the CD and a duke3d.grp is on the CD, then copy it

   That was already explained, and you're right, it's not rocket science.
Neither is the concept of common courtesy, which is a subject you seem to be
rather uneducated in.

, and stop your whinging.

   It's hardly "whinging" to ask "do I need to install the original CDs?"-
which question has already been answered. My comment about the lack of
documentation with the current download was merely to explain to Richard
that I HAD, in fact, read the files that came with it BEFORE asking in here.

  I must say, I hope you don't work in any profession where you have to deal
with people; and I certainly hope you never need a bit of help or advice,
and run into somebody with your sort of attitude.
