I am using Alpha 40 in DOS running on a laptop with Windows ME. TTD is run via the DOS prompt. When I create a new scenario complete with towns/industries and some roads and then start to build a system none of the depots(road/rail/air or sea) show any new vehicles at all. There is no problem with TTD included scenarios

TTD's regular vehicles don't become available before 1930-1940, you need new vehicle sets (like the DB Set XL or the US Set) to play before that period. -- Josef Drexler | http://publish.uwo.ca/~jdrexler/ ---------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Please help Conserve Gravity | Email address is *valid*.

without dissolving into tears. But the portrait is in keeping with the ruthless monarchy that Davis takes great pains to portray. As I said above, the main focus is Kennedy's short-lived "dynastic" presidency. And this is where some real questions about Davis' methodology and intent arise. As he does in his assassination book Mafia Kingfish, Davis proffers a long bibliography to create the impression of immense scholarship and many hours quarrying the truth out of books, files, and libraries. But, like the later book, the text is not footnoted. So if the reader wishes to check certain facts, or locate the context of a comment or deduction, he is generally unable to do so. But fortunately, some of us have a background that enables us to find out where certain facts and deductions came from. This is crucial. For in addition to his wild inflation about the prominence of the Kennedy family in the power elite, another of Davis' prime objectives is to reverse the verdict of the Church Committee and place Kennedy in the center of the CIA plots to kill Castro. Pinning the Plots on Kennedy As I said in Part One of this article, there is no evidence of such involvement in either the CIA's Inspector General report of 1967, or in the Church Committee's report, Alleged Assassination Plots Involving Foreign Leaders, issued in late 1975. In fact, both advance evidence and conclusions to indicate the contrary. So how does Davis propagate that the Kennedy brothers knew about, authorized, and encouraged the plots? The first method is by performing minute surgery on the 1975 report. Davis states that Allen Dulles briefed JFK on the plots at a November 27, 1960 meeting with the President-elect. He uses Deputy Director Dick Bissell as his source for this disclosure (Davis, p. 289). I turned to the committee report that dealt with Bissell's assumptions on this matter (Alleged Ass
