I now have the MS-DOS version of the wing commander 1 module.002 file. I would greatly appreciate any help from someone who can tell me how to decompress it. The decompression cannot be done by the installation program that comes with the game. When decompressed the file will be approximately 230 KB. I once received the file in this form from Mario Brito, but I lost it. If anyone has a current contact for him (he wrote some QBasic editing utilities for Wing Commander) that would also be appreciated.

Why do you need some modification ot it that the install program does not provide? -- In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Because I already have the KS version; I am interested in the DOS version because I remember the DOS version does not have the bug, and in fact if I hadn't ever played the DOS version I wouldn't know for sure that something is wrong with the KS version.
