oment. Should I wait until I can, or can I put a $150
doublespin in here and get the CD-ROM advantages now and upgrade my sound
card later? And if I do that do you have a recommendation as to which drive
to get? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Well, do you know the twist spell? I can't remember where you learn it but

Thanks for reply my message, I get improve with my cd-rom problem. I
just found out that if I use hyperdisk caching I can get my cd-rom work
better, and also I have more sound coming out at speakers, but the
problem still there, I think the reason is my pc --- it is 386dx25 so I
can not expect too much out of it. By the way, what is your pc, I know
it is a 486, is it 486dx2-66? and how big is the memory?

Without a reasonable limit, MANY people tend to take advantage of the ability
to advertise here at all - as evidenced by the goodly number that ignore the
rules to begin with. There is another echo made especially for ads - folks
should post the longer stuff there (as long as it's approved by the rules, of
course). Just my opinion, but this echo consists of more than just ads...

You have to use the available letters to form a sentence. As you've
probably guessed, there are no vowels, except for "y". Some of the words
are "crypt", "slyly", "by", "my", "gypsy", and so on, in no particular

At Starvector Software, we have made it our policy since 1987 to only
advertise titles which we actually have IN STOCK. There are many CD-ROM
distributors advertising "1000's of CD's", when in fact they only keep a
small percentage of that quantity on hand. This creates delays and
frustration for you, and is the primary reason we have always elected to
"stock what we sell". Like all businesses, items will occasionally sell
out, but our in-stock rate currently is around 96%, and we're striving to
improve on that. Call us! 500+ CD's READY TO SHIP TODAY at great prices.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
Well, you have a number of choices, each requires spending various amounts of
Moohlah!!
First, and if you can afford it, Buy a DBLSPEED Cd-Rom pack! However, that is
most expensive!
Second, Buy a new SoundCard, and sell the old one. All you really have to do
is make sure the new soundcard has a Mitsumi interface. All, in all, you
shoulkd have to spend too much on this option!
Third, sell the Cdrom drive and buy a new one for the interface on your card!
However this can get a bit tricky, and you cant be expecting to get a good deal
when selling your single speed!
Last, and I dont n\know if this is feasable, is that you could see if a
mitsumni interface can be connected to the Soundblaster Pro that you have!
If I were you,k then I would definitely choose either op[tion one, or option
two!!!!
Good luck at any rate.
Regards!
Ps-I hope this wasn't too boring!!!

Look at the manufacture date on the drive. We sell them, and may be

The code actually is correct. You have to be sure that when you type in the
code, that you are at the Sphinx board with the option of choosing load a
saved game, start over, or exit. You then type in "Zaphod Beeblebrox" exactly
how it looks. Capital letters and the space must be included. If you have
done it correctly, you should hear a voice say "groovie".
Then click on either the "yes" or "no" to see the 23 different room in Guest.

I have also tried the Silt max switches to no avail...it just keeps wanting

I am sorry to say that I have no more! If I find an extra one laying around,
you have 1st pick of it, but I would rather wait a few days to see if anyone
will "forget" to send the check, than to have too many checks, and not enough

Scott, if you are using the Adaptec 154x.add driver in your
config.sys, you need to add the following switch to the line:
/ET
This will enable the extended transport function and allow the
drm to operate correctly.

SpeedCache Plus is the name of the cache from Symantec (same guys who make
the Norton Utilities)..
And, YES! It is, BY FAR, the best cache I have ever used.. The quickest..
Only thing is, it's not the safest.. It's delayed writing is not like
Smartdrv's (or Norton's NCache).. It doesn't flush the buffers at the C:\
prompt, and such.. So you have to get used to it..
For real experienced people like myself (grin), this isn't a problem.. I set
up a little ALIAS through Norton dos that fluses the buffers before stuff
like rebooting, etc..
But, by far, it is a lot better than SMARTDRV..

Or maybe your SCSI card is the bottleneck? NEC ships their 3x kits with a
16 bit card, and you *know* they would have used a cheaper 8 bit card if such
could give adequate performance (both xfer rate and CPU time).

Hello,
Can anyone fiels this question?
I installed a Misutibi DoubleSpin CD-Rom. Everything worked just fine
for two days then I turned on the machine and the double spin was now
running at single spin. This was reported by two diffrent utilities.
What could cause this? Faulty CD? Something in the config.sys. I have
used these CD Drives in several machines with no problem.
Any ideas, Anyone?

Scott,
I don't have anything that will actually let you "view" the streets, as in
a Street Atlas type program, but with Selectphone 1994, using the reverse
search, you can input just a street, and then have the program list
everyone that lives on that street. Price is $159.70 w/ free upgrade if
you're interested.

That's what I've decided to do. Also, there is a very clever device I found in
a local record store that holds 12 CDs in one stack, with swing-up arms that
have the same center grip as a jewel case. Very compact! There's also a
"dual" unit that holds 24 disks. They're much more compact than jewel cases.
Cost is about 8.95 for the 12-unit and 13.95 for the 24-unit.

-> A megabyte IS a million bytes. (OK, 1,024,000 bytes if you want to

Remember, it was *you* who brought up "hair splitting!" *grin*
Technically, a megabyte is 1024 kilobytes. That's 1024 times 1024, or
1,048,576 bytes.
It was hard drive manufacturers that started all this "million byte"
confusion. They wanted their drives to look larger, so they started
advertising "540 million byte drives," etc., etc. For instance, the
Western Digital "540MB" IDE drive is roughly 528 megabytes in size.
It's sort of like the "formatted vs. unformatted" storage for 3.5"
floppies? Remember that mess? When you had to tell people to buy 1.0MB
floppies for 720K drives and 2.0MB floppies for 1.44MB drives? Blech!
These days, I don't worry about it. I just buy drives with as many
bytes as I can afford! *grin* The manufacturer is free to call it
whatever they please...

I'd have to say "I don't know" to the first question, but the second
statement is incorrect. If you run a program from your CD-ROM drive and
that program makes noise via the Sound Blaster card, then it will use
your installed Sound Blaster, regardless of whether or not the Sound
Blaster is also the CD-ROM interface.
Now, on the audio bypass deal, that's a tougher question. Obviously, if
your CD-ROM drive supports an audio cable, you can connect it to your
Sound Blaster (I suspect that most drives do, as I've not seen one that
didn't). You *definitely* won't be able to use the Audio CD control
tools that are designed to work with Sound Blaster cards. Whether that
means you couldn't use another tool designed to work with your drive
and still get sound through your SB-connected speakers...? THAT's what
I don't know. They may be right. This might not work.
-> Should I wait until I can, or can I put a $150 doublespin in here
-> and get the CD-ROM advantages now and upgrade my sound card later?
I was able to find the Edutainment 16 multimedia kit (SB16 and
Panasonic 563 2X drive) for $370. I made a deal with the reseller where
they kept the speakers and bundled CD-ROMs, and I took the drive and
card for less than $300. You might try and arrange a similar deal, if
you purchase from a local retailer.
Note: I already had an SB Pro and Panasonic 1X CD-ROM drive, and I
replaced these with the new SB16 and 2X drive. The difference is
dramatic. The CD-ROM is much "zippier" and the sound quality is much
better. I am pleased and impressed.
So I guess I'm suggesting that you hold out until you can do it right.

What would probably be advisable is to figure out what type of card you want
when you get a new monitor. Then compare the price to that of the card you are
thinking of buying now (also weigh in the time of when you are thinking of
getting a new monitor). Most of the time you can use the top of the line VGA
card with your monitor. It won't do the Card justice but then you only have to
upgrade one component rather than two. If you are weighting for a while check
out second hand echo's (buy and sell). You can usually pick up good ones for
the 30-50 dollar range. Also Windows performance can be increased by buying
more RAm then just getting a New VGA card.

bottom of the screen to get the arrow that points back towards you. Also,
make sure you have the mirror in your hands when you exit the bottle because
Canuk will try to turn you into a duck when you return from the bottle. You
need to reflect the spell back at him.
By the way, have you ever figure out how to get past the spider in the Forest

Not exactly the right place but, with the moderator's kind permission
(thanks, Tim) I'll give you a short reply. You might also try to find
a board in your area that carries MIDI-NET, an echo devoted to exactly
this type of question.
MidiSoft Studio won't help you - it's a Windows application.
Look for a product in your local music store called "Sequencer Plus,
Junior" (1992, Voyetra Technologies) with a list price of about $80,
street price of around $50. It's an excellent, full-featured DOS
sequencer that is bundled with many sound cards, including the
SoundBlaster series.
"Seq+ Jr" comes in two flavors - if you have a true MIDI device (it need
not be G/M compatible) then you DO NOT WANT the SB version of this program.
"Seq+ Jr" is the entry level version of Voyetra's "Sequencer Plus Gold,
version 4", which is currently vying for top honors with Cakewalk 4.0e for
the most popular DOS sequencer programs. The Voyetra program (my choice)
is a high-end, professional package with every imaginable feature; Cakewalk
is admittedly easier to use. It's a matter of personal taste.
Incidentally, none of the DOS sequencer programs are currently available
on CD-ROMs. And don't waste your time with shareware DOS sequencers. I
haven't found a decent one yet.

Hiya, well the folks at Creative Labs are smarter than that ! :-)
Their is a Cd-ROM interface on the SB Pro cards .. BUT .. its a
proprietary interface which will only support Creative Labs CD drives
and also Panasonic I think... Not Mitsumi .. I know, I have a Mitsumi
myself and I was forced to buy a Pro AudioSpectrum Plus Card to run it.
So here's the choice - Buy a Creative Labs drive or a new Soundcard :-(

From your description, I suggest:
Buy a Matsushita CR-562-B drive w/ interface board. Upgrade the sound
board when you can. You will pay more this way than if you bought a kit
and you won't get any neato discs to start off with, but you CAN join the
CD-ROM world. The drive works fine, sound plays w/ the SB same as before,
and if you upgrade to a SB board with an interface on it later, you can
pull the interface board at that time with a slight change to config.sys.
You CAN play audio CD's, although if that is the prime purpose of wanting
the drive, a CD walkman will cost about the same and provide better service.

Thanks Tim. I was under the impression that MS BookShelf had

didn't understnad that it was just dictionary's, thesaurus's, etc.
"will run under windows" - Do you mean it will run in a DOS window under

Henry, I can reccommend the Hercules Dynamite for ISA bus. I have a
386/33 and got my multimedia kit when I had a BOCA board with 1meg ram.
The response was OK but I had numerous problems with the CDs I got, and,
with other display problems - font display in Word Perfect for example.
BOCA wasn't updating the drivers for my chipset any more. So, I plunged
again (after just getting the CD and sound board) for the Hercules
Dynamite. It has been a very hassle free board to own. I run at 800x600
res all the time in windows. The DOS games like DOOM and Wolfenstein (with
3d scrolling) all run well - no problems.
The speed could be a little faster on the CD video and DOS game
scrolling, but I have to think this is the fact that I have a 386, not the
fault of the card. I got the 1meg Hercules Dynamite and have been very
satisfied these past 5 months. Their drivers support a large number of
monitor vendors and brands. I use a generic one on my low-end CTX monitor
and like I say - I'm happy. FYI....

My computer is a 486dx 33mhz and I have 8 megs memory. So far the computer

do and I get it installed I'll let you know if it helps at all. When i did a

Well there are Good CDs and there are Bad ones:
Just to imform so of you about what I purchased
"Plumbers Don't Wear Ties" a So-Called Interactive Romantic Comedy
by United Pixtures -Glendale, Ca
Well first this poorly assembled program is a slide show not
a movie. listed as 105 minutes playing time. No sound and even
at $14.95 a rip off. I guess we might still see this "movie"
on video tape at the local video store. Too bad if only the
creators of this program would have invested a little more time
in processing this CD correctly it could have been a hit.
Any other Horror stories out there?

I was first introduced to this program via a "Sampler Disk"
only $8.00 and loaded with several titles. Like Shareware
(we) the buying public can get a look at the software without
blindly purchasing the program. Yes if you enjoy this type
of software "SEYMORE BUTTS" is a funny and very interactive
program. You have a choice of running it like a movie and
sit back a watch or run it as an interactive movie where you
select the actions of the movie. This is an adult program
and a well produced program, well worth the $60.00 price.
This program uses "QuickTime" processing and the video tape
of this movie is available "Seymore Butts bustin out my best"
If anyone is interested call (800) 882-6959
I only wish more publishers would take the time to try
this type of marketing. It's still "Buyer be ware!"

Your observation is correct. CDROM and CDROM_SALE *are* virtually
identical. I have seen mail to the effect that, as more systems carry
both echoes, the ads will move to CDROM_SALE. I also believe that ads
posted in CDROM are supposed to be limited to 10 lines. CDROM_SALE has
no such limitations.
I know that I carry both on my system. I enjoy the ads, and would not
want to see them stop. I just wish that I could have one echo for the
discussion of CDROM "technology" and one echo where I could turn for
ads when I was ready to purchase some of that technology.

Just curious: I get my cdrom and cdrom_sale echo from a guy that gets them
through his satelite dish (planet connect) system and I see triples and
quarduples of the same exact adds from dealers EVERY single day! The only diff
is that some are dated the day before like Mon and tuesday etc...
In short: most of my mail from these two echos is constant commercial reruns
and produce at least half of each days mail run. Have you noticed the same in
your area?
Take that poor guy Shannon that quoted the whole message ad from every dealer
that day and got bombed with angry replies for it, his messages showed up (the
same ones) for days here and were two/three times duplicates each day.
I don't mind a 10 line limit of commercial ads but every single day, and dups
and triples is way out of line. CDROM and CDROM_SALE has gotten real bad. The
Gaming echo for cdrom/pc games is the only one of the 3 cdrom style echos (i
know of) that stays in its right form.

going to find out how to USE IT. I am not out here to bother people.
If that is what you think, no. I am not just fooling around, it is just
a unique situation here- or, rather, it WAS a unique situation- that I
thought the CD might just be a patch. Chill out. Thanks,
Jonathan Blank

The concept is easy - but I couldn't correlate the pictures I drew
at all! My son's drawings were better (he looked at the
planetarium with the lights on).
The other one which is conceptually easy, but a real pain in
practice is the organ. I suppose someone with a hearing problem
would never solve that one (I tried counting notes but it was off a
bit).

GREG was overheard talking in the dark fidoalleyways to ALL
GH>Can someone tell me if I can just add a CD-ROM into my system, or
GH>should I get a full Multimedia Upgrade Kit?
No. If you want to keep the SB Basic, then just get a CD-ROM drive,
Double speed at least.
GH>I currently have a 386DX-40mhz with 4 meg of RAM, 250 meg HD, 14.4
GH>modem, and the original Sound-Blaster card. I have been told that I
GH>can just put a CD-ROM in here (with it's own controller) and it will
GH>work fine. But I have also been told that if I do that I won't be
GH>able to play audio CD's and listen to them through the sound card
GH>(like when in Windows and working on something having the CD playing
GH>in the background),
Playing of Audio CD's does not work the same as say a multimedia movie
animation with sound. Playing Audio CD's or special audio-only tracks
on a CDROM uses standard CD audio playback methods that your home CD
player would use. The audio does not get read from the CD, go into your
computer's processor, and sent to the Sound blaster as a digitized audio
data like a .WAV file does. A connector usually comes with the CD ROM
drive to connect the drive to the sound blaster's analog audio input,
where the audio can be sampled or routed to the speakers directly (if
you've ever run Window's Mixer program, you will see a channel labeled
CD. That controls this input on the card itself). As long as your sound
blaster has this input on the card, your'e in business. If you dont,
there is still a headphone jack on the front of the CD ROM drive to
allow you to listen to Audio CD tracks. I listen to Audio CD's
frequently and it works fine.
GH>this moment. Should I wait until I can, or can I put a $150
GH>doublespin in here and get the CD-ROM advantages now and upgrade my n
GH>sound card later? And if I do that do you have a recommendation as
GH>which drive to get? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
I reccommend the Mitsumi FX001D, it's about $120, comes with the
interface card, and has the audio cable. You can connect the audio
cable to their card and have the audio output we discussed come out of
two RCA jacks at the back of the card, or you can connect it to the
sound blaster and still use the Mitsumi interface card to connect the CD-
ROM data input/output to the computer.
Hope this helped, and let us know how it turns out!

Read: [N/A] Private: No
SH~ HELP!! I have the Zork Hint book and all the answers keep on saying that y
SH~ have to put on the Dwarvin Miners Helmet. (Where is THAT AT!??) I read the
SH~ whole book and didn't see any clue as to where it is.
Return To Zork
Almost-Full-Point Solution
NOTE : At certain points in the solve I will tell you to use an item, and not
tell you to pick it up again, or just mention the existence of an item in a
certain room. Make sure you pick EVERYTHING up (with the exception of the
things I tell you NOT to pick up:)). Anything that you leave behind, you
should go back and get.
Hey. Well you're playing Return to Zork, and are stucker than stuck, and
need some help. Look no further, here's the solution to the game! I didn't
get all the points (only 218/225) but the end is there either way, and here's
how to get to it. I also believe there are a few parts of the game that are
just unsolveable (ie the oven, and anything relating to hellhounds).
You start off in a mountain pass. A quick thing to do is pick up the rock
from the lower left hand part of the screen and throw it at the vulture. Then
you might be tempted to get the bonding plant from down below. Don't. My
recommendation is to wait till later in the game to get the plant. So
instead, just mosey down the path to the lighthouse. Enter the lighthouse and
babble with the lighthouse keeper. He really doesn't have very much
interesting to say at this point, so what you say doesn't matter very much.
Next go outside the lighthouse again. Now if you head down the path, you'll
be at the road to the south, unsolveable, so instead, go around the back of
the lighthouse. From here, cut the vines from the fence, and bind the wood
panels together with the vines. Now you have a raft, use it to go one space
down the river, and get off at the bridge.
You are now in the town of West Shanbar, facing the town-proper. First
easy thing to do is go to the building on the far right, it's a destroyed
hardware store. Go in, and get the box and the crank. You don't need the
mice, so leave them there. Next stop should be the close house on the right,
the school house. To get in, bang the bell with the crank or the dagger. The
school teacher will first quiz you with the games first copy-protection, and
then give you a notebook in which you can record all of your travels in the
game. Next stop is the Town Hall, close building on the left, go in, talk to
the mayor, and whatever. Then read ALL the files in the cabinets. It's a lot
of reading, and you'll be referring back to it later on (and a lot of this
solve won't make any sense without reading it). Then after you leave Town
Hall, face center of town, and turn around from there, go off to the left of
the screen, towards the mill. Go into the mill, and you'll have your first
encounter with Boos. First of MANY. Go out the other door into the backyard
of his house, and grab the key from the floor, and pull the chock out of the
water wheel (I don't actually know what this accomplishes, but it gives you
two points, so what the heck:)). Go back through the house, and back to town,
where you can now go to the building on the far left. Use the key to unlock
the door. Go in, grab the battery off the shelves, and the money and tickets
out of the cash register. Then go back to facing the bridge, and on the far
right side of the screen, your mouse arrow will point down, go this way. Here
you will meet the waif. Give him the tickets, and he will give you a gift, it
looks like a piece of lint, but it's very important later in the game. From
here, go back the old mill, and do the following. When Boos pours you a
drink, pour the drink out into the plant, then make a toast with him (glasses
clinking icon) then drink the empty glass. Repeat this four times, and he
will pass out, opening up the Great Underground Empire. But wait, you're not
done yet. Leave the mill, and re-enter it, and repeat the entire
pour/toast/drink process again, but only three times this time, after he says
"Damn Few.", click on the "Don't Drink & Drive" icon, and he will give you his
car keys. OK, don't get too excited here, you can't drive his car, but you
can now enter the GUE. Before you leave this room, also be sure to grab the
flask off of the ground by his feet.
Go down the passage you just opened, and you will be at a door, open the
door with the car keys, and you are now in a new mill! Exit this mill, and
you are now within the GUE. Follow the path straight, into East Shanbar.
First building to enter is the second one on the left. Go into Moodock's
Armoury, and have a chat with him, then play a game of Survivor (he'll explain
the rules to you). It's also impossible for you to lose in this incarnation
of Survivor (you will play a much harder version later on), so just futz
around, and once you win he will give you a sword, and a coin (not a Zorkmid
though). Next, out of the building, turn around from the center of town, and
face the bridge. Cross the bridge, and go to the left. At the Fool's
Memorial, pick up the book off of the floor. From here, proceed down the left
path again, and follow it into Snoot's Farm. Enter through the window, as the
door is locked. Enter the door second from the left, and in that room will be
the lovely Rebecca Snoot, brushing her teeth. She'll knock you out for
breaking and entering, however. When you get up, talk to her and she'll quiz
you with the second and final copy-protection of the game. Once you're out of
that predicament, from the main room, go into the door on the right side of
the room, zoom in on the cabinet, and grab the mirror from the desk. Then
again, from the main room, go through the center archway, and in the kitchen
take the soap off the sink, the thermozz from the table, and open the
refridgerator and take the meat out. (The meat will rot, don't worry about
it, you want it to rot.) From there, put the soap in the sink, and run the
water on it, you will now have soapy water, wash the waif's gift in the soap,
and lo and behold, you have a piece of a mysterious disk. Neat. In the
kitchen is also an oven that blows up if you turn it on (Why it does this is
beyond me) and a box of cereal that you can't pick up. Again, from the main
room again, go into the door on the far left. In there is Alexis the
poodle/hellhound. Click on her and she will growl at you. Nothing else is
necessary from the dog, but her growling is necessary for you to win the game.
After you leave the building, on random occasions, Rebecca will come and meet
you out on the road. When you do see her, take her picture.
Next stop is the carrot silo. From the front of Rebecca's house, go up
and to the right, and you will be at the carrot silo. Take the crank, and put
it on the silo door, and crank it clockwise. The silo will explode and you
should take some of the carrots. From here, again go up and to the right, and
you will be at the Pugney farm. Go to the red house first, and DON'T take the
box off the ground. Go to the door, and open the window and talk to Pugney.
Be Apologetic, and he will let you take the box off the front lawn. Once you
finish with him, grab the box, and now go to the blue barn behind the red
house. Go inside with the cow, and take a clump of hay from the ground (left
bottom corner) pick it up, drop it again, and then take the matches and light
the hay on fire. Now warm your hands by the fire, and milk the cow with the
thermozz. Then feed the cow the carrots. Next stop, back to Rebecca's house,
and go into her kitchen (or bathroom) and fill the flask (not the thermozz)
with water. Now go back to East Shanbar and go to the last building on the
left. Pull lever 1 and the top of the incinerator will open. Throw the bra
box into the incinerator, and pull lever 1 again. Then pull lever 2, and
zoom in on the drawer. Pour the water from the flask onto the hot wire, and
pick the wire up.
Now take that wire, and enter the first building on the left (from the
center of town) and use the wire to pick the lock. Shake the cereal box.
Shake it again. Take the whistle. Next pick up the rats, and IMMEDIATELY put
them into the box you picked up earlier. (The meat you picked up, by now,
should have rotted away) Make SURE you put the rats into the box, or you
will die a quick death. Next up is go from the center of town, straight out,
to the fork in the road, pick the left one first. Pick the tiles up off the
floor, and then turn around, and pick the frame up off the floor. Drop the
tiles into the frame, and you have a lovely word puzzle. The solution to the
puzzle is "Water unseen at falls mix with bat dropping yields potion for", and
once you get that far, the last block will fall into place, "invisibility".
Now, in the same place, twirl around once more, and pick up the disk piece and
the two pieces of illuminyte off the floor. From here, go back to the center
of town, and enter the first building on the right (by this point most people
will be telling you that you stink). Buy a room from Molly Kettle, and go up
to your room in the elevator. Enter the room, and place the illuminyte rocks
onto the nightstand. Then zoom in on the monitor, and turn the radio on.
Then turn the lights off. You will have a dream about Morpheus, the head
bad-guy of the game. Next, get up, turn the lights back on, and take your
illuminyte back (make sure to turn the lights on first). Exit this building
now.
Now for the hard parts. There are now two mazes to deal with. One is
rather vicious, and one is just annoying because of what you have to do. The
first woods we will discuss is the Whispering Woods, the right fork in the
road from the path straight out of town. First things first, however. Go
back to the silo, grab more carrots. Go back to the cow, pour your thermozz
milk into the flask, and then milk the cow again (it must be done the same way
as earlier). Now go to the Whispering Woods. Once you enter, your vision
will start deteriorating. Once the comment reads "Can you see the Galactic
Milky-Way?", drink ALL the milk you have, it should say that your vision is

now good enough to break any spell. If it says this, and gives you five
points, your done. If not, repeat the same process over again (milking cow,
etc), and the second time it will give you the points (I had to do it twice).
Once this is accomplished, here is a map of the woods.

T T T T T T creators made the maps, I have to show one
T TTT TTT T T T T tree as two. So it is actually only six
T T T T T T T paces from the entrance straight south, not
TTTTTTTTTTTTTxTTT 12 as it may seem.
Ok, so my map-drawing facilities aren't first class. But you get the
picture. Once you get out of the maze, you may have noticed a whispering in
the woods (wow what a coincidence) it says "two rings begin, three rings
return" (or maybe it's vice-versa, anyway, that irrelevant). You will now be
standing at a dock with a bell. Ring it twice (or is it three? Again,
irrelevant, just ring it again if the ferryman doesn't come on two). Now the
ferryman will arrive with his hand extended. Show him the coin Moodock gave
you, and he will ferry you across the river. You are now on Canuk's Island.
Go to his house. At the door, you will see a magnet on top of the door.
We'll be getting that later:) Once inside, you will see a duck, a ship in a
bottle, a scroll, and blueprints. Take the scroll and read it to the duck.
Whammo, Canuk will appear. He will tell you some babble about the history of
Zork and whatnot. Show him the disk pieces. He will now transport you into
the ship in a bottle. Go into the bottle, and wander around. The time limit,
I don't think is enforced (if it's really 20 minutes, it's MUCH more than you
need). Get onto the ship, and go up the stairs, and you will see a number,
write it down. Now go back downstairs, and down the stairs again. Pick up
the rag off the cabinet, and zoom in on the safe. Enter the number you just
wrote down into the safe, and open it. Now take the disk piece and the rusty
metal thing out of it. Once you've done this, take your mirror, and put it in
your hand (ie your mouse cursor shows you holding it). Exit the boat. Canuk,
who you may have noticed by now, is controlled by Morpheus, will try to turn
you into a duck. But since you are holding the mirror, it will reflect back
at him. Now take the scroll, and feed it to the duck, he will lay an egg.
Take the egg, and exit the house. Now cut the egg open with your knife. And
you will have the scroll (I don't think this affects the gameplay, but it's
nice to have:)).
Next thing off, get back onto the boat (show the ferryman the coin again,
and of course ring the bell a few times to get him there) and find your way
back out of the forest. Now another quick thing to do is to go into town and
show the blacksmith (second building on the right) your rusty old sword. Get
him to fix the sword, and pay any fee he requests. He may tell you to come
back in a little while, just wander around until it is fixed.
Next thing is to go into the other forest, the left fork from the fork in
road from the path out of town. Once in, the first thing you should do is the
following, go NORTH, EAST, EAST, SOUTH, and you will be at a tree. Hit the
tree with your sword, and it'll break the sword (and also drop some coins on
the ground) take the coins. Now exit the forest again, via NORTH WEST WEST
SOUTH, and go to the blacksmith. Complain to him that your sword is broken.
He will mumble something, and give you a receipt for a new sword. Now go to
the center of town again, and turn around, to face the bridge, go to the left,
and you will be at Ben's boathouse. Talk to Ben. Ask him about the knot he's
holding in his hand. Show him the picture of Rebecca if you've taken it buy
now, and he will give you a sealed letter (if you don't have the picture yet,
no rush, don't worry) and finally, give him the receipt from the blacksmith,
and he will give you the True Dwarven Sword of Zork. How nice. Now back to
the forest (on the fork left). This a pretty vicious forest and has lots of
nasty things in it, and is rather big, as well, here again is another attempt
at mapping it:)

The metallic tree has already been explained. To get past the bowman, you
must make sure to have some milk in your containers. Just give him the milk
and he will go away, and leave his bow and arrows. Take them. Next go to the
Grue/Fairy area. It will say "It's dark, just like Grues like it." Light a
match (the same way you would use your inventory anywhere else), and the fairy
you just rescued will talk to you, be real friendly with her, and she'll give
you fairy dust (you might have to talk to her once or twice to get the dust
from her). Next stop, the tree spirit. Get her to babble her annoying songs.
She really isn't very useful at all. So just get out of there when you get
bored. Now the leaf trap. When you see the leaves, drop something in it (not
your sword) the trap will be sprung. Now just use your sword to cut your
leaves, and whatever you threw in will fall to the ground, just pick it up.
Now go to the boar memorial. Strike the memorial thrice (three times) with
your sword, and you will get another disk piece. You can go to the spider,
but you can't get past it yet anyway, so why bother, get out of this maze.
Next stop, get your bootie back to Canuk's House (go through the
whispering woods again). Now at his door, look at the magnet. Neat, eh? Pry
it off with you sword. Now stand there, holding the magnet. Use magnet with
whistle. Blow away on the whistle, and a vulture will come swooping down. Uh
oh! Not at all, this vulture will carry you to anywhere that you need to go
in the game! So just go to Pugney's Farm first, go to the barn again, (now
might not be a bad time to fill up on milk), and go to the left behind the
barn. You will be at the Vulture Pits. Pour the fairy dust onto the rotting
meat, and throw it. The vultures will come out and eat the meat and fall
asleep. Go into the pits and take the talon. Next, run over to the screen
one screen in front of Rebecca's house (it has signs to the cliffs and
Rebecca's house). Go to the left, and follow that path to the Cliffs of
Depression. Take the rope from the railing. Now go back into town, and go
back to Ben the boatman. Pay him for the boat. Zoom in on the boat, and take
the rats out of the box and put them into the motor. Now you will be at the
Witch's house. Go on inside, she won't bite. Ok, be careful what expressions
you show to the witch, just be friendly. Then show her the milk that you have
and she will let you take the bat cage, do so. Then show her the sealed
letter from Ben, and she will give you staff, take it. Then she's outta
there. Now you can either go through the swamp, or use the vulture to get
out. I recommend going through the swamp, you get 5 points for it. To do so,
you must walk one step out of the witch's house. Then take her staff, and
place it on the ground in front of you, if it falls in, it is not safe to walk
there, if it stands on it, you can proceed. I can't map that, as the swamp is
different for each person, and possibly each time. Just get out, its usually
not more than 7 or 8 steps. Once out of the swamp, first stop is going to be
west shanbar, that's on the above ground level of the map. Go first to the
mayor, and show him the Zorkian book (you got it from the Fool's Memorial),
he will translate a joke for you. Now go to Ms. Peepers (the schoolhouse) and
show her the book, she will tell you that Rebecca can translate it. Next stop
is back down below. Wander around until Rebecca shows up, and play her the
quote from Ms. Peepers about her being able to translate it, then show her the
book. Next off, go back to Witch Ita, and show her the book (if she's not
there, just wander around until she shows up again), and she will translate
one more joke. Then go to the blacksmith, and pay his fee, and he will
translate the last joke. Now go back to the Valley of the Vultures (Mountain
Pass, where you start the game) (remember just click anywhere on the map

knife to dig up the bonding plant. Now go back to the Cliffs of Depression.
Tie the rope to the tree, and climb down the side of the cliff and go into the
Comedy Club. Now playback the four jokes that the people just told you to
the audience. When you are done, Cliff will give you a disk piece. Now go to
the lighthouse. Give the keeper a piece of illuminyte, and show him your disk
pieces, he will give you the final piece. Go up to the top of the lighthouse
and tie the rope onto the railing using the cow-knot that Ben taught you.
Then tie the vulture talon onto the rope, and throw the rope across the river.
The talon will boomerang back and tie itself around the railing, and you will
have a nice rope bridge. Cross the bridge and follow the path to the Temple
Bel Naire. Take the shield from the statue, and go into the Temple. Show the
Holy Woman your sword and she will bless it for you. Now exit the Temple, and
turn around once. There will be a gateway in the right side of the screen,
follow that path to the dwarf camp. Talk to the Dwarven dudes, and they will
give you a hardhat. Take it. Then go up to the top left part of the screen
and go to the mining cart. Now this is very annoying. The path you must
follow to escape the mining maze is the following, where L is Left, R is
Right, and S is Straight. Make sure to only click once at each intersection,
as the dumb game buffers your mouse clicks and it will screw you up
occasionally. The path is L R S R L R S R L L R S. (By the way that puzzle
is easy, just write down each word the dwarves say to each other that is Left,
Right or Straight). Once out, you will be at the temple of the muses. From
left to right, but the following items on each of the statues :
1) Staff
2) Talon
3) Thermozz
Center) Nothing
4) Helmet AND Box
5) Shield
6) Tele-Orb
Then place the disk pieces on the bowl in front, and hit a button (green I
think I hit, I don't think it matters) watch the ensuing stupidity, and they
will reassemble your disk into a whole again. The center statue is different,
he is not a muse, but the "Catcher" (detailed in the Mayor's filing cabinets).
Make sure to pick up all the items once you are done. Now take the vulture
down to the Hero's Memorial. Take the right fork in the road, and go into the
Troll Cave. Put your helmet on and all will be lit up. At the first troll,
swing left, the next, swing up, the third, swing down. Then at the troll
king, click on "Threatening" until he wimps out and gives you the necklace.
Now go back to the green forest, and find your way to the spider. Show the
spider the necklace, and he will wimp out. Then go up Flood Control Damn #3
(!), and fill up your flask from the "backside of the water". Now go to the
whispering woods, and go one space in, and release the bats. Pick up the bat
guano, and drop it into the flask with the clear water (from FCD#3). You now
have an invisibility potion. Now off to the Cliffs of Depression. From
there, turn around and go to the left. Throw the Flying Disk of Frobozz, and
it will dispel the illusion.
Go forward into the castle, and shoot the bow and arrow at the gates, and
the hand will open the door for you. Once in, an orc will start attacking
you. Drink the invisibility potion, and then play back the recording of
Alexis the hellhound barking, the orc will wimp out and run away. Now, at the
Citadel Bridge, throw *EVERYTHING* that you have at the bridge, until you have
NOTHING left in your inventory. The bridge will come back up. SAVE THE GAME
NOW:) Go over the bridge for your final confrontation with Morpheus. A game
of Survivor. Only now you play Trembyle instead of Canuk, which makes the
game VERY hard. Here is the pattern to win, the number represents what order
you should make the moves in. If he blocks the move, pass your turn, and he
will move to another space, do NOT deviate from the course I give here, or you
will have to forfeit and will have to start over again.
0 5 12 9 0=Where you start
11 8 1 4 14=Where you will end
6 3 10 13 C=Where Canuk/Morpheus will die
C 14 7 2
Again, if he blocks your move, do NOT go anywhere else, just pass your turn,
he MUST move, he is not allowed to pass. Once you complete this, you've
won the game! Congratulations.
The ending of the game is kinda bad, but the game itself is pretty good, I
enjoyed it a lot. Some of the puzzles (the bra box) were ridiculous, and some
of the scenes (the Mining Maze, COME ON! Infocom games are NOT coordination
games) really annoyed me, but all in all it was a pretty good game. I don't
know where to find the remaining 7 points, but obviously it isn't very
important. Till next time, seeya!

PC~ If anyone else has any hints, PLEASE share, I could use the help.
OK.......
Return To Zork
Almost-Full-Point Solution
NOTE : At certain points in the solve I will tell you to use an item, and not
tell you to pick it up again, or just mention the existence of an item in a
certain room. Make sure you pick EVERYTHING up (with the exception of the
things I tell you NOT to pick up:)). Anything that you leave behind, you
should go back and get.
Hey. Well you're playing Return to Zork, and are stucker than stuck, and
need some help. Look no further, here's the solution to the game! I didn't
get all the points (only 218/225) but the end is there either way, and here's
how to get to it. I also believe there are a few parts of the game that are
just unsolveable (ie the oven, and anything relating to hellhounds).
You start off in a mountain pass. A quick thing to do is pick up the rock
from the lower left hand part of the screen and throw it at the vulture. Then
you might be tempted to get the bonding plant from down below. Don't. My
recommendation is to wait till later in the game to get the plant. So
instead, just mosey down the path to the lighthouse. Enter the lighthouse and
babble with the lighthouse keeper. He really doesn't have very much
interesting to say at this point, so what you say doesn't matter very much.
Next go outside the lighthouse again. Now if you head down the path, you'll
be at the road to the south, unsolveable, so instead, go around the back of
the lighthouse. From here, cut the vines from the fence, and bind the wood
panels together with the vines. Now you have a raft, use it to go one space
down the river, and get off at the bridge.
You are now in the town of West Shanbar, facing the town-proper. First
easy thing to do is go to the building on the far right, it's a destroyed
hardware store. Go in, and get the box and the crank. You don't need the
mice, so leave them there. Next stop should be the close house on the right,
the school house. To get in, bang the bell with the crank or the dagger. The
school teacher will first quiz you with the games first copy-protection, and
then give you a notebook in which you can record all of your travels in the
game. Next stop is the Town Hall, close building on the left, go in, talk to
the mayor, and whatever. Then read ALL the files in the cabinets. It's a lot
of reading, and you'll be referring back to it later on (and a lot of this
solve won't make any sense without reading it). Then after you leave Town
Hall, face center of town, and turn around from there, go off to the left of
the screen, towards the mill. Go into the mill, and you'll have your first
encounter with Boos. First of MANY. Go out the other door into the backyard
of his house, and grab the key from the floor, and pull the chock out of the
water wheel (I don't actually know what this accomplishes, but it gives you
two points, so what the heck:)). Go back through the house, and back to town,
where you can now go to the building on the far left. Use the key to unlock
the door. Go in, grab the battery off the shelves, and the money and tickets
out of the cash register. Then go back to facing the bridge, and on the far
right side of the screen, your mouse arrow will point down, go this way. Here
you will meet the waif. Give him the tickets, and he will give you a gift, it
looks like a piece of lint, but it's very important later in the game. From
here, go back the old mill, and do the following. When Boos pours you a
drink, pour the drink out into the plant, then make a toast with him (glasses
clinking icon) then drink the empty glass. Repeat this four times, and he
will pass out, opening up the Great Underground Empire. But wait, you're not
done yet. Leave the mill, and re-enter it, and repeat the entire
pour/toast/drink process again, but only three times this time, after he says
"Damn Few.", click on the "Don't Drink & Drive" icon, and he will give you his
car keys. OK, don't get too excited here, you can't drive his car, but you
can now enter the GUE. Before you leave this room, also be sure to grab the
flask off of the ground by his feet.
Go down the passage you just opened, and you will be at a door, open the
door with the car keys, and you are now in a new mill! Exit this mill, and
you are now within the GUE. Follow the path straight, into East Shanbar.
First building to enter is the second one on the left. Go into Moodock's
Armoury, and have a chat with him, then play a game of Survivor (he'll explain
the rules to you). It's also impossible for you to lose in this incarnation
of Survivor (you will play a much harder version later on), so just futz
around, and once you win he will give you a sword, and a coin (not a Zorkmid
though). Next, out of the building, turn around from the center of town, and
face the bridge. Cross the bridge, and go to the left. At the Fool's
Memorial, pick up the book off of the floor. From here, proceed down the left
path again, and follow it into Snoot's Farm. Enter through the window, as the
door is locked. Enter the door second from the left, and in that room will be
the lovely Rebecca Snoot, brushing her teeth. She'll knock you out for
breaking and entering, however. When you get up, talk to her and she'll quiz
you with the second and final copy-protection of the game. Once you're out of
that predicament, from the main room, go into the door on the right side of
the room, zoom in on the cabinet, and grab the mirror from the desk. Then
again, from the main room, go through the center archway, and in the kitchen
take the soap off the sink, the thermozz from the table, and open the
refridgerator and take the meat out. (The meat will rot, don't worry about
it, you want it to rot.) From there, put the soap in the sink, and run the
water on it, you will now have soapy water, wash the waif's gift in the soap,
and lo and behold, you have a piece of a mysterious disk. Neat. In the
kitchen is also an oven that blows up if you turn it on (Why it does this is
beyond me) and a box of cereal that you can't pick up. Again, from the main
room again, go into the door on the far left. In there is Alexis the
poodle/hellhound. Click on her and she will growl at you. Nothing else is
necessary from the dog, but her growling is necessary for you to win the game.
After you leave the building, on random occasions, Rebecca will come and meet
you out on the road. When you do see her, take her picture.
Next stop is the carrot silo. From the front of Rebecca's house, go up
and to the right, and you will be at the carrot silo. Take the crank, and put
it on the silo door, and crank it clockwise. The silo will explode and you
should take some of the carrots. From here, again go up and to the right, and
you will be at the Pugney farm. Go to the red house first, and DON'T take the
box off the ground. Go to the door, and open the window and talk to Pugney.
Be Apologetic, and he will let you take the box off the front lawn. Once you
finish with him, grab the box, and now go to the blue barn behind the red
house. Go inside with the cow, and take a clump of hay from the ground (left
bottom corner) pick it up, drop it again, and then take the matches and light
the hay on fire. Now warm your hands by the fire, and milk the cow with the
thermozz. Then feed the cow the carrots. Next stop, back to Rebecca's house,
and go into her kitchen (or bathroom) and fill the flask (not the thermozz)
with water. Now go back to East Shanbar and go to the last building on the
left. Pull lever 1 and the top of the incinerator will open. Throw the bra
box into the incinerator, and pull lever 1 again. Then pull lever 2, and
zoom in on the drawer. Pour the water from the flask onto the hot wire, and
pick the wire up.
Now take that wire, and enter the first building on the left (from the
center of town) and use the wire to pick the lock. Shake the cereal box.
Shake it again. Take the whistle. Next pick up the rats, and IMMEDIATELY put
them into the box you picked up earlier. (The meat you picked up, by now,
should have rotted away) Make SURE you put the rats into the box, or you
will die a quick death. Next up is go from the center of town, straight out,
to the fork in the road, pick the left one first. Pick the tiles up off the
floor, and then turn around, and pick the frame up off the floor. Drop the
tiles into the frame, and you have a lovely word puzzle. The solution to the
puzzle is "Water unseen at falls mix with bat dropping yields potion for", and
once you get that far, the last block will fall into place, "invisibility".
Now, in the same place, twirl around once more, and pick up the disk piece and
the two pieces of illuminyte off the floor. From here, go back to the center
of town, and enter the first building on the right (by this point most people
will be telling you that you stink). Buy a room from Molly Kettle, and go up
to your room in the elevator. Enter the room, and place the illuminyte rocks
onto the nightstand. Then zoom in on the monitor, and turn the radio on.
Then turn the lights off. You will have a dream about Morpheus, the head
bad-guy of the game. Next, get up, turn the lights back on, and take your
illuminyte back (make sure to turn the lights on first). Exit this building
now.
Now for the hard parts. There are now two mazes to deal with. One is
rather vicious, and one is just annoying because of what you have to do. The
first woods we will discuss is the Whispering Woods, the right fork in the
road from the path straight out of town. First things first, however. Go
back to the silo, grab more carrots. Go back to the cow, pour your thermozz
milk into the flask, and then milk the cow again (it must be done the same way
as earlier). Now go to the Whispering Woods. Once you enter, your vision
will start deteriorating. Once the comment reads "Can you see the Galactic
Milky-Way?", drink ALL the milk you have, it should say that your vision is

now good enough to break any spell. If it says this, and gives you five
points, your done. If not, repeat the same process over again (milking cow,
etc), and the second time it will give you the points (I had to do it twice).
Once this is accomplished, here is a map of the woods.

T TTT T T T T T T NOTE : Due to an annoying way that this game's
T T T T T T creators made the maps, I have to show one
T TTT TTT T T T T tree as two. So it is actually only six
T T T T T T T paces from the entrance straight south, not
TTTTTTTTTTTTTxTTT 12 as it may seem.
Ok, so my map-drawing facilities aren't first class. But you get the
picture. Once you get out of the maze, you may have noticed a whispering in
the woods (wow what a coincidence) it says "two rings begin, three rings
return" (or maybe it's vice-versa, anyway, that irrelevant). You will now be
standing at a dock with a bell. Ring it twice (or is it three? Again,
irrelevant, just ring it again if the ferryman doesn't come on two). Now the
ferryman will arrive with his hand extended. Show him the coin Moodock gave
you, and he will ferry you across the river. You are now on Canuk's Island.
Go to his house. At the door, you will see a magnet on top of the door.
We'll be getting that later:) Once inside, you will see a duck, a ship in a
bottle, a scroll, and blueprints. Take the scroll and read it to the duck.
Whammo, Canuk will appear. He will tell you some babble about the history of
Zork and whatnot. Show him the disk pieces. He will now transport you into
the ship in a bottle. Go into the bottle, and wander around. The time limit,
I don't think is enforced (if it's really 20 minutes, it's MUCH more than you
need). Get onto the ship, and go up the stairs, and you will see a number,
write it down. Now go back downstairs, and down the stairs again. Pick up
the rag off the cabinet, and zoom in on the safe. Enter the number you just
wrote down into the safe, and open it. Now take the disk piece and the rusty
metal thing out of it. Once you've done this, take your mirror, and put it in
your hand (ie your mouse cursor shows you holding it). Exit the boat. Canuk,
who you may have noticed by now, is controlled by Morpheus, will try to turn
you into a duck. But since you are holding the mirror, it will reflect back
at him. Now take the scroll, and feed it to the duck, he will lay an egg.
Take the egg, and exit the house. Now cut the egg open with your knife. And
you will have the scroll (I don't think this affects the gameplay, but it's
nice to have:)).
Next thing off, get back onto the boat (show the ferryman the coin again,
and of course ring the bell a few times to get him there) and find your way
back out of the forest. Now another quick thing to do is to go into town and
show the blacksmith (second building on the right) your rusty old sword. Get
him to fix the sword, and pay any fee he requests. He may tell you to come
back in a little while, just wander around until it is fixed.
Next thing is to go into the other forest, the left fork from the fork in
road from the path out of town. Once in, the first thing you should do is the
following, go NORTH, EAST, EAST, SOUTH, and you will be at a tree. Hit the
tree with your sword, and it'll break the sword (and also drop some coins on
the ground) take the coins. Now exit the forest again, via NORTH WEST WEST
SOUTH, and go to the blacksmith. Complain to him that your sword is broken.
He will mumble something, and give you a receipt for a new sword. Now go to
the center of town again, and turn around, to face the bridge, go to the left,
and you will be at Ben's boathouse. Talk to Ben. Ask him about the knot he's
holding in his hand. Show him the picture of Rebecca if you've taken it buy
now, and he will give you a sealed letter (if you don't have the picture yet,
no rush, don't worry) and finally, give him the receipt from the blacksmith,
and he will give you the True Dwarven Sword of Zork. How nice. Now back to
the forest (on the fork left). This a pretty vicious forest and has lots of
nasty things in it, and is rather big, as well, here again is another attempt
at mapping it:)

The metallic tree has already been explained. To get past the bowman, you
must make sure to have some milk in your containers. Just give him the milk
and he will go away, and leave his bow and arrows. Take them. Next go to the
Grue/Fairy area. It will say "It's dark, just like Grues like it." Light a
match (the same way you would use your inventory anywhere else), and the fairy
you just rescued will talk to you, be real friendly with her, and she'll give
you fairy dust (you might have to talk to her once or twice to get the dust
from her). Next stop, the tree spirit. Get her to babble her annoying songs.
She really isn't very useful at all. So just get out of there when you get
bored. Now the leaf trap. When you see the leaves, drop something in it (not
your sword) the trap will be sprung. Now just use your sword to cut your
leaves, and whatever you threw in will fall to the ground, just pick it up.
Now go to the boar memorial. Strike the memorial thrice (three times) with
your sword, and you will get another disk piece. You can go to the spider,
but you can't get past it yet anyway, so why bother, get out of this maze.
Next stop, get your bootie back to Canuk's House (go through the
whispering woods again). Now at his door, look at the magnet. Neat, eh? Pry
it off with you sword. Now stand there, holding the magnet. Use magnet with
whistle. Blow away on the whistle, and a vulture will come swooping down. Uh
oh! Not at all, this vulture will carry you to anywhere that you need to go
in the game! So just go to Pugney's Farm first, go to the barn again, (now
might not be a bad time to fill up on milk), and go to the left behind the
barn. You will be at the Vulture Pits. Pour the fairy dust onto the rotting
meat, and throw it. The vultures will come out and eat the meat and fall
asleep. Go into the pits and take the talon. Next, run over to the screen
one screen in front of Rebecca's house (it has signs to the cliffs and
Rebecca's house). Go to the left, and follow that path to the Cliffs of
Depression. Take the rope from the railing. Now go back into town, and go
back to Ben the boatman. Pay him for the boat. Zoom in on the boat, and take
the rats out of the box and put them into the motor. Now you will be at the
Witch's house. Go on inside, she won't bite. Ok, be careful what expressions
you show to the witch, just be friendly. Then show her the milk that you have
and she will let you take the bat cage, do so. Then show her the sealed
letter from Ben, and she will give you staff, take it. Then she's outta
there. Now you can either go through the swamp, or use the vulture to get
out. I recommend going through the swamp, you get 5 points for it. To do so,
you must walk one step out of the witch's house. Then take her staff, and
place it on the ground in front of you, if it falls in, it is not safe to walk
there, if it stands on it, you can proceed. I can't map that, as the swamp is
different for each person, and possibly each time. Just get out, its usually
not more than 7 or 8 steps. Once out of the swamp, first stop is going to be
west shanbar, that's on the above ground level of the map. Go first to the
mayor, and show him the Zorkian book (you got it from the Fool's Memorial),
he will translate a joke for you. Now go to Ms. Peepers (the schoolhouse) and
show her the book, she will tell you that Rebecca can translate it. Next stop
is back down below. Wander around until Rebecca shows up, and play her the
quote from Ms. Peepers about her being able to translate it, then show her the
book. Next off, go back to Witch Ita, and show her the book (if she's not
there, just wander around until she shows up again), and she will translate
one more joke. Then go to the blacksmith, and pay his fee, and he will
translate the last joke. Now go back to the Valley of the Vultures (Mountain
Pass, where you start the game) (remember just click anywhere on the map

knife to dig up the bonding plant. Now go back to the Cliffs of Depression.
Tie the rope to the tree, and climb down the side of the cliff and go into the
Comedy Club. Now playback the four jokes that the people just told you to
the audience. When you are done, Cliff will give you a disk piece. Now go to
the lighthouse. Give the keeper a piece of illuminyte, and show him your disk
pieces, he will give you the final piece. Go up to the top of the lighthouse
and tie the rope onto the railing using the cow-knot that Ben taught you.
Then tie the vulture talon onto the rope, and throw the rope across the river.
The talon will boomerang back and tie itself around the railing, and you will
have a nice rope bridge. Cross the bridge and follow the path to the Temple
Bel Naire. Take the shield from the statue, and go into the Temple. Show the
Holy Woman your sword and she will bless it for you. Now exit the Temple, and
turn around once. There will be a gateway in the right side of the screen,
follow that path to the dwarf camp. Talk to the Dwarven dudes, and they will
give you a hardhat. Take it. Then go up to the top left part of the screen
and go to the mining cart. Now this is very annoying. The path you must
follow to escape the mining maze is the following, where L is Left, R is
Right, and S is Straight. Make sure to only click once at each intersection,
as the dumb game buffers your mouse clicks and it will screw you up
occasionally. The path is L R S R L R S R L L R S. (By the way that puzzle
is easy, just write down each word the dwarves say to each other that is Left,
Right or Straight). Once out, you will be at the temple of the muses. From
left to right, but the following items on each of the statues :
1) Staff
2) Talon
3) Thermozz
Center) Nothing
4) Helmet AND Box
5) Shield
6) Tele-Orb
Then place the disk pieces on the bowl in front, and hit a button (green I
think I hit, I don't think it matters) watch the ensuing stupidity, and they
will reassemble your disk into a whole again. The center statue is different,
he is not a muse, but the "Catcher" (detailed in the Mayor's filing cabinets).
Make sure to pick up all the items once you are done. Now take the vulture
down to the Hero's Memorial. Take the right fork in the road, and go into the
Troll Cave. Put your helmet on and all will be lit up. At the first troll,
swing left, the next, swing up, the third, swing down. Then at the troll
king, click on "Threatening" until he wimps out and gives you the necklace.
Now go back to the green forest, and find your way to the spider. Show the
spider the necklace, and he will wimp out. Then go up Flood Control Damn #3
(!), and fill up your flask from the "backside of the water". Now go to the
whispering woods, and go one space in, and release the bats. Pick up the bat
guano, and drop it into the flask with the clear water (from FCD#3). You now
have an invisibility potion. Now off to the Cliffs of Depression. From
there, turn around and go to the left. Throw the Flying Disk of Frobozz, and
it will dispel the illusion.
Go forward into the castle, and shoot the bow and arrow at the gates, and
the hand will open the door for you. Once in, an orc will start attacking
you. Drink the invisibility potion, and then play back the recording of
Alexis the hellhound barking, the orc will wimp out and run away. Now, at the
Citadel Bridge, throw *EVERYTHING* that you have at the bridge, until you have
NOTHING left in your inventory. The bridge will come back up. SAVE THE GAME
NOW:) Go over the bridge for your final confrontation with Morpheus. A game
of Survivor. Only now you play Trembyle instead of Canuk, which makes the
game VERY hard. Here is the pattern to win, the number represents what order
you should make the moves in. If he blocks the move, pass your turn, and he
will move to another space, do NOT deviate from the course I give here, or you
will have to forfeit and will have to start over again.
0 5 12 9 0=Where you start
11 8 1 4 14=Where you will end
6 3 10 13 C=Where Canuk/Morpheus will die
C 14 7 2
Again, if he blocks your move, do NOT go anywhere else, just pass your turn,
he MUST move, he is not allowed to pass. Once you complete this, you've
won the game! Congratulations.
The ending of the game is kinda bad, but the game itself is pretty good, I
enjoyed it a lot. Some of the puzzles (the bra box) were ridiculous, and some
of the scenes (the Mining Maze, COME ON! Infocom games are NOT coordination
games) really annoyed me, but all in all it was a pretty good game. I don't
know where to find the remaining 7 points, but obviously it isn't very
important. Till next time, seeya!

Thanks go out to Ozone and wc who played the game concurrently with me on IRC.

Hi Guys/Gals,
I have just recently got a CDROM. IT is sooo good. I am really impressed
with what it can do and what it has to offer.. BUT!!!!! CAn somebody PLEASE
help me with a problem I got. (well actually 2 probs...:)
1. I have the Grolier's Encyclopeadia(The Software Toolworks Version 6). Well
it almost all works fine except for when displaying a "multimedia map". What it
basically is, is a presentation of video and speech all in one telling you in
detail of some historical event. Well take for example the GUlf war. When I try
to play that, all goes well for 1:15min out of around 3mins. Then it comes up
with this MEssage:-
MMTASK caused a general protection fault in module MCIAVI.DRV at
0004:021F.
WEll I have tried various things to correct the problem, but I cannot
fix it, I have tried reinstalling it, but it didnt work, Tried fiddling with
drivers, didnt work, check config.sys, seemed to be good, Everything seems to
be alright. I have a 486dx2/66 with Vesa Local Bus (true Colour) The card is a
Cirrus Logic.
CAn anyone help me with this, It would be greatly appreciated, any ideas
at all would be a help. THankx
(Idecided not to put my 2nd problem up cuz if this one get sort out I will be
happy enuff.)
Thankx Again

Hi Steve!
Been out of town a few days (Mehhico again for Council meeting on my

puss it off (Kiwi influence here).
One: still don't understand where Wyoming figures in your address-line:

Two: What was the connection with the Coast (or ex-coast)?
Three: (careful now, this is where the questions get real tricky!)
have you got some sort of adapter on your voice line for flicking calls
to the fax or a dedicated fax machine in behind your answer machine?:
whatever it is, how well does it work?
Got everything you said you'd send, including the Windows Phonedisk:
thank you. Phonedisk: why oh why do they have to get people to
register when they have already bought the product? Have sent them an
intemperately worded fax asking for the registration number. If I get
an intemperately worded response? Well I deserved it, I guess...
Had a phonecall next morning from a guy who said *how much* they
appreciate feedback and comment and especially mine. [Full marks I
fort.] We then talked about a reference I may be involved in, on
emerging technologies (including intellectual property issues - and yes,
reverse engineering and privacy - which is why I wanted a copy of the
Phone-disk) and the implications of all of this for people's skills in
future in order to be able to exploit new market opportunities.
Did a little demo of the Phonedisk for Council members: they were quite
fascinated. However, it took someone half a day scouring our large
corporate offices in Melbourne to find a machine with CD-ROM that
worked. Wide acceptance and utilisation of the technology may be a
way's off...

'Lo there everyone
Sorry if this is off-topic (couldn't find an echo where it would be
on-topic).
An Australian colleague of mine is about to take up a term appointment
to an academic institution in the US and is taking all(most all) her
household stuff with her.
She wants to be able to mail videos to friends in Australia and play
videos from Australia. To do this she's wondering whether she might
have to take her Australian video machine and TV to the US. This seems
like overkill.
Apparently there are compatability problems as between US and Australia
with video machines. An American academic visiting Australia recently
had the embarrassing experience of trying to show his video presentation
to a conference only find that nothing could be seen. It may have
something to do with differences in screen resolutions (and less
probably, diffs in power: we have 240 volts at, I think, 50 cycles AC as
against 110 v DC (?) US)
Anyone out there with experience/ideas on this?

It's a Panasonic KX-F110 (available only from business equipment stores). It
is a combo fax/phone/answering machine. It has too many features that I'd
never bother using but it works very well for what I wanted it for. It has
three main modes: fax, phone, TAD/FAX. The latter is the answer machine mode
which also detects fax calls. Even in phone mode if someone is persistent
enough it switches to auto mode.
To summerise - the user interface is ok, and overall it does the job.

Hi Paul,
Seeing as you know a fair bit about SCSI I was hoping you caould answer a
question I've never got a straight answer about?
Does a SCSI interface (1,2 or Wide) give any benefits as far as CD-ROM
access is concerned?
From what I've been able to determine SCSI devices have quicker access
times than IDE ones (eg. Hard drives) but seeing as the bottleneck on a
CD-ROM is the access off the CD-ROM itself, will there be any improvement
in havinf a SCSI device?
BTW I have a Pro Audio 16 SCSI with NEC CDR-55 multispin, Double Speed CD,
300Kb/s 320-350 ms access time, running on 486sx25 VLB.
Thanks for any info you can shed.

You need to use the generator in the light house in combination with the
switches under the umbrella. Each of the switches will pump out the water to an
area. (Only one switch at a time). Turn on a switch and look around the areas
for the one that is pumped out. (Do this for each switch)
You need to charge the generator to turn the lights on to the tunnels.
To turn the light on inside the ship. You may find a different path now the
light is on down to the bedrooms. Watch your step on the landings on the way.
You will find a puzzel that turns on the underwater light (which lights up the
ship room)
The button to push for this puzzel has something to do with the telescope on
top of the island. Try cranking up the generator before looking through the
telescope it may come to you in a FLASH or by DEGREES.
If you have trouble with these, drop me a line and i will give you the walk
through for this age.

Have a look around for CHKCD works like CHKDISK or use DIR /S which will list

accurate as it counts the . and .. directory entries as files and adds space
for them.

Chuck the CD ROM!!
In regards to your 1st prob. Keep an eye on your favourite BBS for the latest
drivers for Windows.
Also check that the driver I spoke to you is the only one on the HDisk.
If there is another in the SYSTEM dir, that could be the prob.
Don't give up yet, youv've got a lot of CD Roms to buy, like MegaRace
Myst, 11th Hour, MicroCosm, Rebel Assault etc etc etc.

Hi...
Just wondering if anyone could explain to me what the difference
is in Single and Double Spin drives, and if it really matters
if it's one or the other. Like, will some CD-ROMS not work unless
it's used in a DS drive?
Thanks.

Loved it! In the past there have been favorable comments appear in

perform a thorough review such as you have. For this I thank you.
It's easy for me to say that the Free CD offer is one of incredible
value, but you know as well as I do that a customer's recommendation
carries a lot more weight than a salesman's.
Thank you again for helping to get the "Good" word out on this CD.

Hello Dirk, I don't know the manufacture date because i didn't remove the drive
yet. But I do have the bill of sale for the drive and I bought it in Oct. of 93
from CMS Software. The advertise on fido all the time under the name of Alan
Evans. I called them and they told me that they didn't warranty the drive, they
said it was up to Panasonic to do honor the warranty. I am really at my wits
end with this and wish there was some way I could get someone to honor this
warranty. Since I bought it mail order with my visa card maybe one of them can
help me get some satisfaction. I have already sent a letter to the BBB in NJ
where Panasonic has a HQ. I hope that gets some type of reply from them.
If the drives are suposed to be warrentied through the vendor then I would
think Panasonic would return one of my 4 calls and tell me that. Any
suggestions on what else I can do?
Thanks Tony

Do not buy a Panasonic CR-562b or any other Panasonic drive. I have one and it
is suposed to come with a 1 year warranty. Well mine is dead now and less then
a year old but they won't fix it. They don't even want to talk to me. I have
called them 4 times on my dime and they don't even return my calls.

Hi there Michael
SH> GA-014 Doom 1.1 to 1.2 Upgrade - Shareware 6.00
SH> GA-001 DOOM! - Shareware 7.50
SH> CG-001 DOOM! Registered 42.00
MB> How are these CDs? I know Doom shareware is available on CD, but not the
MB> registered version. Besides, as far as I know, only ID can sell copies
MB> of registered Doom. I would like to have the registerd version if it is
MB> legal since my Doom takes way too much space. I'm pretty sure that the
MB> upgrade file is not on CD, but I'll let that go. <BG> If the registerd
MB> is legal, call me at 556-4257 or reply here.
ID, EPIC MegaGames, Apogee and many other Shareware Companies are now beginning
to sub-license retailers as OFFICIAL REGISTERED SOFTWARE DEALERS. I'm not sure
of each and every dealer, but if you check your SHAREWARE DISTRIBUTION files
for DOOM, there should be a file called VENDOR.***. This file contains a
(somwhat hopefully) complete list of each and every OFFICIALLY REGISTERED
company that may LEGALLY distribute REGISTERED version of their Shareware
Releases.
As for playing DOOM off of a CD, Unless you have a Quad-Speed drive, I really
wouldn't recommend playing it directly off of the disc. The data transfer
speeds would be TOO SLOW to make DOOM enjoyable. Keep it on your Hard Disk and
you'll remain as a dizzy as ever 8).

Hello Ed; I'm interested in one of your Compton's CDs; how do we

It is possible that we have been acquainted in the Valley; I worked in
real estate with Wally Van Wyk. I worked at one time with Lou Duchek a

ESWell, do you know the twist spell? I can't remember where you learn it but
ESif you do it on the water tornado it'll say something like "That only
EStwisted it tighter". Do the opposite of that spell. It works...
To do the untwist spell you have to do the twist spell backwards. I
think the twist spell was the one for the spinning wheel or something
like that. It's been a long time.

SL>What is on this CD? Does it have a lot of Maximus BBS programs?
SDN - Shareware Distribution Network - It has a reasonable amount
of BBS support files for most of the packages available through
the Nets. It was mastered about 6/92, so I don't know if there
would be current Maximus related programs that you could find use in.
We do however have a new CD out that that would better suite your
needs: Mega CDROM 4. Mastered 5/94 - $29.00
Thank you for your inquiry Steven. If I can answer any other questions

Hello James!

It already does, along with searching for matching text inside the
archived files, for Profit Group Mega and FAO CD's.
JP>When it found a match, it could generate a listing similar

It will on individual files that are highlighted, but as far as
generating an external listing of all files with path:name, no it
doesn't't. If you have a particular file highlighted, a simple ALT-I
should give you the path:name information.Is this what you're talking
about James? Or are you speaking in terms of having MegaSearch creating
the external listing to a separate text file?

DL> Hi to all, is it a way to speed up cd-rom? some cache program
DL> to make cd-rom run faster?
Yes there is ! There's several good cache programs on the market right
now, but I will say this, use a cache only on an old slow system !!
If you have a cdrom player that offer's double spin or even higher, you'd
be wasting your money on caching the unit as the speed increase wouldn't
be noticable.
Hope this helps...

Yes you can. My setup is a 486DX-33, 420M HD, 8M RAM, and a
Soundblaster Basic as well. I've just got two sets of speakers,
the cheap set connected to the SB,(I'm gonna u/g that as soon as
I find a good enough deal w/ my spec.'s), and the good set
connected to the headphone jack on the CD-ROM so I can get good
audio. I recommend that you get the best CD you can and wait on
the sound card. I have a Chinon 535 CD,(SCSI so I can add on an
HD or scanner or something whenever I take a notion), and am
looking at a PAS 16 sound card,(look in back issues and compare
price drops). The Chinon has a caddy but I look at it like this,
after I decide a particular CD is a "keeper", I get it it's own
caddy and never touch the CD again. Something you might want to
keep in mind is that if you only have a basic VGA monitor, you'll
be wanting more very soon after you get the CD so consider that
when deciding how much to spend on the CD. Good Luck.

I've read elsewhere that the March '94 Hobbes has an old version of 2.11 that

Read: [N/A] Private: No
Hello All!
I have a Mitsumi FX001D drive and am running Zork on it. When I use DMA
transfer or software interrupt polling, the game often halts with no obvious
reasons, but always at the same points within the game (e.g. no quickload at
the start of the game possible).
The only way to solve the problem is to eject the CD and drive the tray in
again. The program gives a drive error, and after the CD was detected, the game
continues until the next halt.
When I use a pure software polling, everything runs fine.
I tried all possible IRQs and DMA channels. No way.
I wonder if there is a bug in the driver? V2.22 currently in use.

Personally, I find these requirements too low. I work with a 486/66, 8 Mega ram

requires, of course, lesser than the windows version.
Sorry my English isn't perfect, else I could you tell more about this cdrom.

My double-speed drive (not a Mits) has a single-speed mode (for compatibility

Have a good trip! It must be beautiful this time of year. I need to go see my
family too, but it'll probably be awhile.
I'm working on the game as and when I can. Been taking a few days off to have
the carpet cleaned... Had to get everything off the floor. What a job! We
had a pile going in our "junk room" of stuff we plan to sell at a yard sale and
we had to go thru all of it and find another home for it. We got rid of a lot
of stuff, but we still have too much junk. When the guy came to clean the
carpet, he asked if we wanted the closets done. I told him he'd get injured if
he opened the closet doors. I guess you can tell we're a bunch of packrats,
but we're getting over it. We're starting to realize we only have so much
space and just don't have room to hang onto stuff we're never going to use.
The house is cleaner now than it's been in a long time, though. I'm a terrible
housekeeper and it usually takes some kind of big motivation to get me to dig
in and clean the place up. I'm hoping I can keep it clean now, tho, because
it's so much easier to keep it clean than it is to clean it up once I've let it
get really messy.
I'll chat atcha later. Let me know how your trip was.

Hi Cindy Well I made it back and it was nice in Ole Virginny. The winter ice
storm had topped all of the trees in the mountains and they looked like they
had a bad haircut. Apple crop is going to be small this year. The cherries
were as small as gooseberries. Benn letting a kid down the block play my game
and he ahs a found a few mistakes and there is a lot of dialogue that I should
have out in. Having a hard time forcing myself to get with it and fix that.
You said earlier that you had been doing some animation. For the life of me I
can't figure out how to make that work. I have used the example in the
tutorial but I just does not make sense to me. If you have a chance write me a
simple array with maybe just a line that moves across the screen then maybe I
can figure it out. I am very dense at times! Been looking at taking a home
study in visual c from NRI. Really want to write another game but want to do
it in a more sophisticated way. Have you played with c? Thought about buying
a microsoft c programmer but the cost is so high and I am scared of that
commitment without any help. It took me nearly a year and a half to get where
I am in QBASIC. Well,drop me a line. Got to drop the sysop a line. For some
reason I am hanging up in his main menu and my telix program works fine with
other boards. Can't figure it out. Hope he doesn't drop me. See ya.

Actually I didn't figure so good. :-) The price from MEI is $3.99 (they print
the .99 part real tiny) plus .50 for shipping (I got my magnifying glass out to
read the .50 part). Still, at $4.50 each, their price is a lot more reasonable
than the $8 to $10 most of our local stores want.

If you do decide to use jewel boxes, you may be interested in a *free* program
called CDLABEL. It prints inserts for the jewel boxes. I use it mainly for my
PhotoCDs but you may find it nice for CDROMs also.
It's available as CDLAB201.ZIP (about 250K) from the RSBBS/Oratorio
(904-863-8408). You should also be able to find it Compuserve, AOL, and the
other online services, as well as at cica.indiana.edu via FTP.

May not want to rush out and buy the first new read/write CD-ROM.
They will probably be exspensive and with less features than the follou-ups
models which will probably be cheaper with a few more conveinient features.
I like to wait till the reviews come out to find out what doesn't work with

As much as I'd like a CD-ROM, I'll just have to wait til the read/write
hits the market at REAL prices, not those phone numbers they sell for
now. I've waited this long to switch from a 286 to a 486, so I can

You can pre-pay with a check/money order if you wish. Or if you drop in town
anytime in the near future, we could work something out. I am real close to

I assume you already tried connecting the thin two-wire audio cable from
the back of the CD-ROM to the two-prong post on the Sound Blaster card.
I bet this is what you DIDN'T try:
Trim off the little plastic nub on the CD-ROM audio cable so that it
connect BACKWARDS onto the Sound Blaster. It should work now.

Tis true. You can't play the audio CD through the sound card. I have
an original SB and a 2xspin CDrom and it plays fine. Unfortunately, I
have my sound card with one set of speakers and the cd-rom drive using
another so I can hear the audio cd. So go ahead and get the CD rom and
save up for the better sound card.

Subj: Duplication of Messages Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
Many of us have noticed duplication of messages in this echo. I'm fairly
certain this is caused by technical problems. Recently, when compiling an
anthology of messages (grouped by "From:"), I noticed duplication where one
copy of a set of messages all had times ending in :00 seconds, whereas the
original had varying :xx seconds. All other particular details (To:, Subject:,
body, tag line, etc.) were identical.
My guess is that somewhere in the echo there is a system that truncates times
to the nearest minute, *and* re-enters the messages into the echo. Since that
message differs from the original, it is not suppressed as a dupe, and gets
fully circulated. Here is a sample of the message headers I observed:

On non-Profit discs, I'd like to be able to have it search the file listings
for keyword, much like WHEREIS searches directories for filenames. It
doesn't have to produce a fancy, mirrored, mouseable output to the search
(Nice, but I wouldn't expect you guys to support other people's product
that well) Something like (on a plain screen)
Searching disc for 'hooha'...
\applic\wordproc\hello.zip
hoohah! what a great word processor!
\applic\spread\yowza.zip
this is absolutely the best spreadsheet program! Hooha!
\games\arcade\bomber.zip
hooha
With optional save to text file, paging, etc.
This should be a (relatively) simple programming task, and it would make it
MUCH simpler for me when I am searching for files and don't know what
directory structure the disc has. A single search engine that work with
all my discs which include FILES.BBS would save me quite a bit of time when
I am looking for something, but don't necessarily know the filename.

He got busted for selling the discs to an undercover cop, not for having them
on a BBS. A totally different situation.
You DO place yourself under threat of civil, (not criminal), lawsuits if the
disc contains copyrighted images which are not licensed. You MAY be under
threat of criminal prosecution if the images on the disc violate YOUR
communities' standards of obscenity, OR THE STANDARDS OF THE COMMUNITY OF
ANY CALLER.
They can seize your computer, and sell it, BEFORE you are convicted, and
may hold it for a long time EVEN IF you are NEVER actually charged with a
crime.
Consider carefully before putting an adult disc on a BBS.

Nope, the twist draft plays right in the waterspout. It takes a higher note

JT> Hi...

JT> is in Single and Double Spin drives, and if it really matters
JT> if it's one or the other. Like, will some CD-ROMS not work unless
JT> it's used in a DS drive?
Easy. A "single-spin" drive can transfer 150k of data from the cd to the
PC memory every second. A "double-spin" drive can transfer 300k of data
every second. Moving more information is less important for, say, shareware
discs...nice, but not critical.
On the other hand, for "multimedia", where lots of graphics and sound are
being moved, even double-spin drives aren't fast enough.
Do not buy a new single-spin drive. Consider carefully getting a used one.
Prices are very low on DS drives and the performance increase is worth the
money in 99% of cases.
A single-speed drive is acceptable for use as a filebase in a BBS, or for
somebody who ONLY wants to do shareware discs...and a DS drive is better in
both cases.

CHKDSK would be great...if it worked, which it does not. Instead, use a
DIR /S. After 5 minutes, you will either get a total size of all the
subdirectories on the disc, or a CD101 error which indicates that the disc
has more information on it than your drive can read (more than 650M)
Any information above 650M is unreachable and should be ignored, unless
you happen to know somebody with a drive that reads past 650M (rarer and
rarer).

Subj: IDE CD-ROM DRIVE Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
Hi All,
I would like to buy a CD-ROM drive and have a few questions.
In my pc, I have IDE hard drives and a sound blaster 16 (with ASP chip).
The sound blaster card has a connection for a CD-ROM drive. According to the
distributors of the sound blaster (SDC) the CD-ROM drive has to be an IDE
CD_ROM drive (which makes sense) and it *HAS* to be a Panasonic drive.
I would like to know if anybody is using this setup ie. IDE Panasonic CD-ROM
drive off a sound blaster 16.
What is the performance of such a drive compared to a SCSI drive?
The IDE Panasonic drive is supposed to be a double speed (or is that spin ?)
drive. Apparently there is plans for a tripple speed IDE CD-ROM drive, but
nobody know when it will be available.
Are the IDE CD-ROM drives *a lot* slower than the SCSI drives - comparing
apples with apples ie. IDE double spin vs SCSI double spin ?
Will the IDE tripple spin be considerably faster than the double spin, and
any idea when it will be available (even other makes - not Panasonic) as I
would like to know if it is worth waiting for or if I should take the plunge
and decide now which to buy IDE or SCSI.
The reason for all this is that I am reluctant to buy a SCSI adapter and CD-ROM
drive, if that is the only SCSI device. My hard drives are IDE & the SB16 has
an IDE interface so why go SCSI if the speed is not *that* much better ?
Thanks. I appreciate the input.
David.

[1] Was from "Knowlage Adventure" titled _3-D_BODY_ which allows a user wearing

part is good.. what really throws me off is that by calling an '800' number and
allowing them to charge $$$ on to my charge card they will tell me an access
code which will allow me to load the full software package from this same CD..
The thing that gets me is what happens if the you have a system crash.. this
means that you have to re-enter the 'CODE' (and hope that you had not lost
it!).
[2] SelectWare Vol.6, #1, I think that somebody at SelectWare needs to do a bit
more testing of their DEMO's before placing them on a general public released
CD-ROM and/or list that a file is for only for and/or been tested with only
MS-DOSvX.X.. because about 50% or the DEMO's on this CD would not run on my
system which runs NOVELL DOS.

You were correct. The problem was a big mess of drivers in my Windows.
Some softwares in CD installs drivers under the Windows and causes a
lot of conflicts. I "cleaned" the Windows and everything is ok now ( I
hope !!! :)))) ).
Another question :
After I had installed the QEMM 7.04 and Stacker 4.0 in my system, I
noticed that the level of ocurrences of GPF's in Windows increased a
lot. Do you know something about this? Have you ever heard about
problems with these two softwares and Windows ?

I was looking for a Apple ][ shareware cd rom (please don't laugh) and was
wondering if anyone knew of such an animal? I have heard that there is one,
but have no information on how to get it, or how much it costs. ISO-9660 would
be nice, but any info is cool.

Yep....The problem is Memory! Increase it to at least 8 Megs and Cache
SmartDrive with 2 Megs! The problem is that when your system reloads from a
log off it tends to overwrite part of the TSR for the CD Rom Driver...Ensure
all drivers are loaded high and above your fossil driver!

You first have to select 3 titles from a very large list of films. Then you get
a smaller list (10 to 20 titles) where you have to select all the films you
really liked. Then you get a list of highly recommended an recommended movies.
This list can be printed but not saved. I liked all the films in the proposed
list, so the program does a pretty good job.

No, no, and no. The manual says the program uses "fuzzy logic" artificial
intelligence to do the search.
BTW, except the 12 complete trailers of some Paramount movies, there are no
pictures nor sound on the CD. If you want those you're better of with MS
Cinemania.
CU later,

I'm sure there are utils to do that for you, but just using DOS you could type
from the root directory "DIR /S" That shows all directories on the disk and
totals the used space at the end.
This is ok for most of the games, but when you do this on CD's with lots of
files on it, then it takes ages.

Ask your sysop if he is running FD. If so he can use the FM
editor/reader to do an ALT-X on any message and find the
originator and path it took.
From your end, as a user, check the bottom line of the post,
the origin number of the sytem sending is always listed.
HOWEVER, if it's duped out, you can't be sure if the orgin
address has been appended.
I'm sure there's a more complicated and informative way to explain
this, but those are the basics for what ya wanted to know. :)

TP>help me get some satisfaction. I have already sent a letter to the BBB in NJ

TP>If the drives are suposed to be warrentied through the vendor then I would
TP>think Panasonic would return one of my 4 calls and tell me that. Any
TP>suggestions on what else I can do?
Here's what happens in a nutshell. Panasonic does not make ANYTHING. And
unfortunately I have had them tell prospective costomers that same thing.
Panasonic is a marketing arm of Matsushito which is what your drive is.
The same drive (Masushito 562) is OEM'ed by IBM, Panasonic, Reveal, Omni,
etc. Everyone calls them Panasonics because that is the most recognised
name. They make the vendors handle the sevice problems, because they
would not know for the most part who handled the drive orriginaly from
the above list.
The shop you purchased it from should honor the warrenty, but if they
won't as I said maybe we can help. Lets start with a description of
what the problem is, and include your Config and Autoexec lines so I can
look them over. It could be either the drive or the controller of course
so keep that in mind. Next. If the label on the top of the drive that
shows the manufacture date is less than 1 year, we may be able to swap
it out for you and perthaps you could let everyone know who helped you
out :)

The 562 driver will work with both the 562 and 563. The 563 driver will
only work with the 563 because it looks for the firmware to return the
string 563 (notice the above hex spells 563) using the 562 driver makes
doing this unnesessary.

Nice theory but it is NOT Matsushita's problem...these drives are OEMed,
not sold under their own brand name. As such, it is the OEM, not the
manufacturer, who provides the warranty. He's barking up the wrong
tree.

Send a message to those dealers that advertise heavily in both echos that

They advertise in both places because many sysops carry only the CDROM

their ads to only the CDROM_SALE echo...if it begins to hurt them in

take every thing in the safe.

We regularly post all our reviews of new CD's here and in several other
echoes. Of course, I can't always promise a favorable write-up, but we
strive to be as objective and honest in our appraisals as possible. We
rely on actual "facts and figures" rather than "opinion" whenever we can.
It's actually more of an "analysis" of the disc than a "review" in the
traditional sense.
Incidentally, we've been contacted by four publishers so far, for whom we
review all new releases as soon as they are available. If you think Profit
Press would be interested, call me (voice) at:

our own customers and, when the word got out that we had reviews available,
many people asked us to post them for all to read.

it in his spare time..... it's been terribly quiet here this past month).

- does not have a business license.
I apologize for any problems he has caused.

Mine has a LaserMate utility disk so I guess thats what it is. Do you have

know the number or address of LaserMate???

I'm not sure that those are in stock anywhere yet. They were written up in PC

nice doublespeeds, and I expect they would keep the same quality with this

Firstly, the interface isn't really IDE, it's proprietary to these Panasonic
drives. I've run a Panasonic 562 off of a SoundBlaster Pro with good results.
It performs nicely. The drive is as fast as comparable SCSI models (same data
transfer rate and access time).
The Panasonic 562 is down to $129 US at some sources, so it's definitely a
bargin. Nice drive, nice price.
I should mention that some people have had problems trying to get their drive
serviced. For that reason, you might want to consider going with the more
expensive Creative OmniCD. It is the Panasonic 563 (562=563 in terms of
performance). If you did this, you could return the drive directly to Creative
Labs if there were any problems.

COD amount). I changed my mind, I will only bill you $2.50 COD because you will
still have to pay 75 cents for the m.o. I will pay the extra 75 cents on the
COD. Soooooo, you pay me only $49.50 and that is all.

Now this is the reason I have been loyally wading through all these
dealer messages and game hints. For some silly reason I assumed that CDRom
would be for discussing discs, and CDRom-Sale would get all the advertisements.
Having been bit on a couple purchases in the past, I've been looking
forward to reading some opinions on what is available. One windows disk that a
friend bought had all the files both zipped in somewhat BBS fashion, and
extracted in individual directories. A few others just didn't seem to have the
quality that I expect. Recently another friend purchase NightOwl 12, SimTel,
and Dr Communication and all three have been excellent. (although Dr Comm. is a
little light) It was beginning to look like potluck and I'm too cheap to jump
in uninformed.

This one I have. I've found a few good and bad points with it. The
original selling point for me is the Pascal source code on it, and to build a
good, specialized inventory I don't mind the older file dates. I just wish
there was a little more there. (about 115 meg)
Some of the annoying things I've run across with it are multiple
versions of the same file and duplicates. Take the following for example:
TECHJOCK ZIP 134244 3-05-88 2:47p

TTTSRC51 ZIP 79920 5-14-93 3:11p
TTTTPU ZIP 29336 2-01-88 7:49a
These are all the same programming toolkit, with TTTxxx51 being the
latest versions.
All the files have ZIP comments advertising Dave's board, which
currently isn't even online. As a SysOp I didn't find this particularly
amusing.
But more annoying for me are the file descriptions. For some reason
they chose to upper case all of them. Maybe it's my personal preference, but I
don't care for it. They also chopped (and I do mean chopped) all the file
descriptions at a single line. That means that quite a few stop in
mid-sentence, and even mid-word, making them virtually useless. The Files.BBS
for \004 is the one out of \005, so all the files in subdirectory \004 have no
descriptions.

I use this both for my BBS and for my own use. Since I keep my BBS
fairly limited and centered on Pascal programming, I don't mind it being light.
Short of making my own disc, I haven't found anything else on the market that
comes as close to focusing on Pascal. I wouldn't think about taking it offline
unless I replace it with something similar in content, not even for NightOwl
12.

I solved it, but I didn't write it down.
It took me 3 hours to figure it out. (I think I just got lucky:)
I don't even have the hint book!
P.S. For anyone else who would happen to know, I have solved all the puzzles I
can find, but now no doors have opened. I found a little door or something in
the library, but it won't open.
I know this won't help at all, but I just thought I'd let you know how long it

Copy it onto graph paper if need be. Once you look at the entrance and

that leads to the part where you take something like the fifth right.

Yes, but you HAVE TO bypass those others via the book to progress further

Yes but with a ten line limit, you merely get more ten line posts that
advertise the same number of items that longer line posts would. What's worse,
three 20 line posts or six ten line posts? Considering the added overhead each
individual post gives us (seen bys, origin lines, To: From:, etc), I'd have to
say the ten liners.

A fair number of CD-ROM games need CD-ROM sound. Some will let you limp

playing through the board. I would presume there are some titles that use both
CD-audio and sound board generated sounds. After all, if the typical card that
plays CD-audio can mix the two, why not?
In any case, I recently played my copy of Loom on my brother-in-law's
system. It has the Sound System for Windows (or whatever it is that Microsoft
sells) which purports to be Sound Blaster compatible, but doesn't include the
DOS drivers (either Creative's drivers or a workable clone). With this board
we can play Loom, but we have to plug WalkMan headphones into the CD ROM drive
jack. CD ROMIX titles won't play at all. If anyone could suggest a solution
for this problem, I'm all ears.

(any one) as a partial demonstration of these things. The context is I
am likely to be working on a Commonwealth government reference on
converging technologies (yes, another one) and the implications for
future education, training and workforce skills.
Thus, I haven't looked at the other products but here are some comments
on Phonedisk for what they're worth.
It's very straightforward and quick: enter last name and it generates
an initial list of people: add state or suburb or postcode and click on
any displayed name and you get full details. Enter number, state and
you get person and so on. It is divided into separate business and
residential lists.
Having said that, it is an irritating product. Despite the fact that it
exists because someone re-engineered all the telephone books, it seems
to be designed to prevent people getting more than single event
information out of it without a great deal of work. For example, a
friend of mine wanted to know all the people in Australia with her
surname. Easy: turned out there were 65 of them listed around the
country. The screen where you print these only gives them to you one at
a time. OK, so print each of them to file. Each file is full of ACSII
garbage, making them very large ( >40k from memory). To produce a
single list of names and addresses took a lot of time working with a
very good editor.
The business lists have the capacity to generate all the firms in a
given area: but the suburb field is greyed out if you try to start from
there. Similarly, for residential, you could in principle generate
marketing mailing lists by suburb - but it doesn't let you do it. Yet
this is in essence a fairly simple data-base and the real work seems to
have gone into controlling its usefulness. I think there is another
product from the same company that does all the things this one could do
but doesn't.
Had I wanted it for the purposes many other people presumably buy it
for, it would have gone back.

From what I have read the 522 does not have the ds jumpers, so it would need to

The CDrom can connect directly to your SBPro, however it must be of the correct
type. If you have a standard SBPro then you can only use the Panasonic Creative
labs drive.

Last year I purchased WINDOWS 1993 from them.
The only real 1993 things were the sub-directories and the label
which stated "ALL NEW windows files"
> ^^^^^^^
There should be a law against this.
You DON'T get wat you've had paid for....
I thought AH!!! New windows files........
as it says on the label but I never expected this......
The CD was filled with 1992 and 1991 stuff and the longer
I looked the lower the dates went, even as low as 1989....
The same thing went for GAMES 1993......
This time they were a bt more clever... :-(
They Re-Archived all the files to 4-1-93
Nice Joke April the first......
But....... they proved they were right about that...
It WAS a joke......
Every single file had much older dates, down to 1989....
That was easy money...(for them that is.)
They were BOTH an absolute rip off!
The quality of both was not worth a dime....
I really hope someone in the US will take these guys to court
some day, the deserve it.
I will NEVER EVER purchase ANYTHING, manufactured by- or
distributed by- Chicago Computer Broker..
It's like I have been robbed....<sorry to say>
So!.. I've got that finally off my chest.
Regards,
Cor.

Hi Brice,
In case you did not receive my previous mail sent a week ago, I am
glad to tell you that the ORDER has been finally received a few weeks
ago.
But, the "Encyclopedia of Sound" is not working - w/o any visual sign
of damage on the CD. Therefore I expect to receive a $10 refund, or
a $10 credit toward my future purchase, upon returning the disk to you,
is that OK for you?
At the moment I am interested in a few CD, among others, Business Week
and Time Magazine, could you tell me what issues are covered on each
of the CD? (e.g. 1989-1994 for Time Mag? How about Bus Week?)
What is the latest version of "Grolier's Ency?"
Please quote for the above.
Since we have such a bad experience last time due to USPS, I wonder if
it is possible for me to pay an extra amount, on top of the included
shipping as the order is going to be prepaid, so as to send the package
as US 2nd class. A few bucks I suppose (ie. cost of 2nd class minus
cost of your USPS). Please quote assuming an order of 3 CD and 5
caddies.
I look forward to have business w/ you soon. Thanks.

I need a lot of help with this one.
I am in the Dungeon, if you will, below the house. I am stuck. In the maze
part, how do you get the whole screen lit. I only have the part where I am
because I have the lamp. I put the Talisman in the right place and put the gem
in the right place too. I got the hook. Open all the doors that need the
hook. I just keep going in circles. HELP!!!!!
