  Rumours, Rumours. Press statements and actual take-overs are more important.

Detonate, give me a few days and I will send an E-mail to Microprose USA. I think
Microprose is originally US based, so getting the answers from the right people
seem to be most likely coming from there.

I am sorry to hear about your experience with the helpdesk at Microsoft UK.
Any problems I had in the past were always easily solved by visiting Microprose's
site at www.microprose.com(I presume that that is the US based site) and
downloading patches.

best regards.
