Look Spalls, you'd be better off taking a printed manual into the loo
than an electronic device! :-)

So, call me naiive, but when the game installed from DVDs it also
installed something called GOG galaxy.  I think I had the option to
not install it but I don't know how else to update the game as it is
not Steam, Origin, Uplay,...

When I boot up the game there is a GOG.com interface so how is this
game affiliated with GOG.com?  Do I need this?  I cannot continue
using the Galaxy thing unless I have a GOG.com code.  What the heck is
that and why do I need one?  What does it do.  PITFA!  How do I get
upgrades to the game?  Will adding it to Steam work?

By the way, I'd rather have a nice map, etc.. in color than having to
waste ink on my black and white laser printer and have it on 8 1/2" x
11" sheets of paper!

Thanks again,
