      Walk Through with Dorothy Millard (P.C. Version)

Note:  I found playing this game on an Amiga 500 under PC
emulation, the game played very slowly and the screen refresh time
was unacceptable.  However, playing the game on a Pentium PC, the
refresh time was non-existent, BUT in one location, ie. the
Hallway where the spider is, I was killed every time by the
spider.  The game told me I had been in the room too long but of
course I had only just arrived.  No matter how fast I typed, I
couldn't beat the Pentium and therefore it would be necessary to
slow the game down to make it playable.
