Mors Gotha hasn't turned up in expected place, and Altara says that he has missed something. I sent him a solution I had here, and he seems to have done everything in it, cut all the lines of force, the Djinn bottle etc. If anyone has any suggestions, please write in! ------------------------------------------------------------------ Bev Truter wants to know if anyone has finished Five on a Treasure Island on the PC. She says there appears to be a bug in the game which makes it impossible to finish. I sent her a solution from another machine and that seems to confirm it. If you know differently, let us know. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Mary Scott-Parker is having mouse trouble! No, not the furry sort, the one attached to her PC. It is very sluggish and not very accurate so some games can't be played properly such as Captive, the Might and Magic series and Dungeon Master. Essentially the mouse takes a lot of homing in.
