Forgive my ignorance, but I am a little unclear as to which files should be
unmarked as read only - I assume you mean the files in the sound directory?

I'm only curious to know why I cannot play the animated sequences, except
when run straight from the CD - which is when I can't get sound to play at
the same time, naturally cos I cannot write to the CD.

I've tried to copy the whole CD into a directory, but this has so far led to
no luck with both sound and animations running together...

Thanks
