You have indeed. Thank you.

I will look at that but I have a sneaking feeling it is identical to the
patch EXE on the CDROM which is the full patch of 3.20 including CTF. A text
file explains that it is necessary to run the patch if either of the mission
packs are installed after 3.20. I did try applying that in the vain hope it
would make a difference but no.

I will have a look.

I have been poking around, reasearching the problem.  It seems that the
"function pointers have moved" has multiple causes:

(i)   One is if you install the mission packs. But that is cured by using
the patches to update (or rebase).
(ii)  The other seems to be growing evidence that this problem occurs on XP.
I have seen quite a few people say that even if they use XP's compatibility
mode, it still does not work.
I am going to systematically check this out. XP can emulate 95 and 98 and NT
4.0.

That would be fun. At the moment life is a little unstable as I am looking
to move. When the dust settles, I will have a new place with all mod-cons
regarding PC's and I am sure I will be active :-)
