  Okay, playing the latest T2 FM from thiefmissions.com and it requires 
Darkload 4.2. I downloaded it, but have yet to install it.
  Will I loose any saved games for other FM's?
  I have yet to play T3 FM's, but would it be better to download 
GarrettLoader instead of Darkloader 4.2?

They are saved under that FMs save slot, and should
be playable at a later day without problems.  Worked for
me when I went back to play a few I hadn't finished.
(like the "search for the lost key" FMs)

GarrettLoader handles all Thiefs, plus System Shock.
Since it came out, I haven't used Darkloader and
haven't had any problems.  There is also a rating
system so you can upload the stats and see which
FMs people thought were good and which sucked
canal water.
But remember, this is my opinion.....

I had Garrettloader installed for T3 FMs so I use it for the T2 FMs that say 
they require Darkloader 4.2 and it handles them beautifully. I did try 4.2 
but I had problems with my computer afterwards. I'm not sure if it was 
related to the new Darkloader install but rather than take a chance, I stuck 
with Garrettloader. It's quite easy to use and has some nice features. I'd 
recommend giving it a try.

I just reformated my pc and installed Garretloader. I had an issue
with a missing file or some such but it was easily downloaded and
placed and now it works great. Give GL a try Albert, it has some very
nice features.

What I'm wondering, I did back up by Darkloader files, is there anyway
to transfer my DL play data (dates, completions) to GL other than
manually?

Thanks MosNot, NW, and Craig. I guess it is Garrettloader for me. Might 
force me to reload T3 and try out those FM's.
