 Dear Sirs,

     I think your ConvertR program is a great idea.  How many times I have 
 found myself in the position wanting to convert quantities and having to resort
 to some table and do the calculations myself.  This program is neat, the only 
 problem I'm having is that it interferes with Wordstar 5.0 and Qdos II. 
 
     I've tried loading it before and after the two mentioned programs are 
 loaded but to no avail.  If I am in Wordstar writing a document and call up 
 ConvertR it pops right up.  When I exit it and try to continue on my document 
 my computer is locked up.  I have to press the reset button to get things back 
 to normal. 
 
     I am using a Tandy 1000 TX, 640 K of memory, a 49.1 meg. hardcard, with 
 two floppy drives, one for 3 and 1 /2 and the other for 5 and 1/4 floppies. 
 
     I have tried reasigning the key using the debug command but still it locks 
 up my computer with Wordstar. 

     When I call up Qdos II and try to exit I get computer garbage on the exit 
 screen.  I'm able to exit but don't like what I see.  So far it has not locked 
 up my computer with Qdos II. 

     Would appreciate any comments you have on how I can correct this situation 
 if possible.  I sure want to use the program.

 Dear Big Blue Disk,

     This issue is not really loaded with programs and information, but I have
 been enjoying a few of the programs.  You were right in your analysis that the
 adventure game Moraff's Revenge is very well done.  Also, the BlackJack game 
 is great.  I also enjoy the Print Shop images.  In fact I will be ordering at 
 least one of the volumes of Print Shop Graphics which you have now. 

     PC-Cypher would be a useful program, if I had a hard disk.  I may buy one 
 sometime, but in the immediate future my plans are to buy a modem and then a 
 color monitor.  As for the Periodic Chart, it looks like a well written 
 program, but I do not have any use for it. 

     Thanks for changing the Marketplace Ads a little.  They were a refreshing
 change to read this time.

     I have some specific questions regarding the Moraff's Revenge Program.
 Is there any way to delete the past characters?  I am especially interested in
 getting rid of some of the characters which are no longer active.

     I had one slight problem occur with Moraff's Revenge.  When I finished a 
 session with a total experience points of 105897, the program did not save 
 the correct total.  When I started it again, my scores were less.  Is there 
 something that I did which caused me to loose the points?  I have noticed that 
 if I try to go down too far into the dungeon without enough health points or 
 enough experiance, it proves fatal.  During one of my high scoring games, I 
 became trapped too far down and could not get back out.  My character was 
 resurrected, but I no longer had experience or health points.  It seemed 
 impossible to gain any of the lost points back no matter what I did.  My 
 character ended being destroyed.  Is it possible to gain enough health and 
 strength again in order to play the game successfully? 

     Thank you for your time and consideration.

 ^1>    Steve Moraff, the author of Moraff's Revenge, did not provide a means of 
 ^1>deleting a character.  I hate to say this, but until the character is killed 
 ^1>you are stuck with him.  I will need more information about the problem you 
 ^1>report with the incorrect value of experience points being saved.  Had you 
 ^1>returned to the first level or just quit the game while still in the dungeon?
 ^1>Once you lose a character and it has been resurrected, you are essentially 
 ^1>forced to start over again.  It is just a matter of keeping that character 
 ^1>alive long enough to regain your health and strength points.  However, you 
 ^1>always run the risk of losing him again any time you venture into the dungeon.
