Darklands v1.07, on 386i-33/Diamond Speedstar 24x/DOS 6 w/memmaker.

One day while walking from town to town, a shrat was being chased by some
sort of hound. So, I thought I might protect it and myself by using wood-
lore. Sure enough, just like the Darklands of old, I get booted from the
game and the message missing XHOUND(S).PIC shows up. Luckily, I had saved
the game only a month or so back, and was able to continue onward.

The next time I encountered the Schrat situation, I decided to attack the
hounds right away, and this worked...

This posting is a warning to those playing version 7.0 to avoid the last 
option on the Schrat screen. It is also a plea for XHOUND.PIC, in case I
inadvertantly bumped it out of darkland/pics directory.
