Hey all.

Been having a bit of a play with that old classic carrier command. It seems to work fine under dosbox 0.61, except when loading/saving

It saves the game ok (savefile is created on my HD) but then dosbox exits (SDL Parachute deployed).

Dosbox will then exit if you enter the load game screen (dont have to actually try to load the game, just enter the screen) or if you start another game and try to save (dosbox exits when you enter the savegame screen). If you delete the savefile from the drive then you can once again enter these screens normally. From this i'm guessing it has something to do with reading the directory contents.

Crumbs!

Hmmm....

Well since its savegame/filesysystem related i guess its possible that it could work under one OS and not another.

I will try running it on a non-NTFS partition tonight under Win2k, see if that makes any difference.

Crumbs!
