I can understand if this board gets unwanted notice as some sort of Abandonware sanctuary or such. But then a polite "please dont mention abandonware" would be a better way for Addict et al to deal with this issue. A polite "please dont mention abandonware" doesn't work. Most people don't even know …

I was wondering if you UPX'd your .dll's. Haven't checked the small ones I got from your zip. I took most of my .dll's straight from the game demos without any compression to them.

I wouldn't even bother with a 0.63 port, especially for a game like Dark Forces which uses protected mode. (and you can only use normal core pn PDA's) Find a newer port if there is one or don't even bother.
