- I dunno. A lot of people have complained about that, and I had the same
- problem the first time I tried it. Then I just ran it again and it
- worked. Can't figure out what's wrong with it that everybody has so many
- problems, but I wouldn't lose any sleep trying to get it to work. You're
- gonna be pretty disappointed, I think. No resemblence to Doom whatsoever,
- and probably not a very good game in it's own right.

- Oops. I hadn't read that one. Sounds right. I didn't freeze the game or
- anything, but I did load it with the hotkeys on my Super Snapshot. Maybe
- that's why it worked for me.
