Seems that might have been a glitch when I was viewing the file over the local net.
I've got quite a bit of paccy typed in now. Got the intro, instructions and menu working ok. The map comes up but there's lots of blank lines. I must have a wrong value somewhere.
The old Win 98 machine has had a seizure and doesn't access the internet now. The ethernet card works fine in Linux, but Windows won't play. Looks like a re-install <groan>
