            Hehe.. I knew there MUST be a use for flares somewhere ;]
            That's an interesting bug - I wonder if it exists in other
            levels where an explosive device is used - It never occured
            to me that they could ignite anything.

            There are a few Items that I've never even tried in Thief
            (like flash mines) and many that I avoid using. I don't
            like to extinguish torches unless it's absolutely necessary,
            and I never use moss arrows either - I try to clear all the
            threats form every level and leave it looking just as it did
            when I started - (just a personal thing I have about maintain-
            ing the original artistic integrity)- But it's certainly affected
            my playing style !;]

                ooooh - That's something I really appreciated about
                this one - The T2 engine isn't the greatest but the
                garvity physics is exceptionally nice - I love a good
                shoot - and since I hat killing I rarely have the op-
                portunity to make practical use of the bow - though I
                do take great pleasure of placing a rope arrow right
                on the top edge of a projecting beam !;]
