- Wow, I think you did too much! I merely grabbed the text file
- describing the contents of disks 771-780, named it "Fish.txt" and
- put it in RAD, opened KingFisher, selected "Add Fish", pointed it
- to the "Fish.txt" file in rad:, and sat back while it did all the
- work.
-
- Also, do you have the latest KingFisher, version 1.11, and did
- you edit the config file like you were supposed to?
