Buggered if I know. In the C= 64 emulator all I do is press F9, then
select the file from the list and press Shift-Tab to run it.

PE> Yes, people are very stupid about this.  Most people use a home

Wow ! All that. For a moment there, I thought that some people

PE> BTW, I won't be paying $200 for an MSDOS version!

BV> ROFL...You are missing something Paul (I think it could be your brain).
BV> I have NO intention of writing a Wizard of War clone simply so that

PE> Sure, I just didn't want you writing the thing for MSDOS and then
PE> saying "right Paul, you're my first customer, where's my $200?".

PE> I would probably buy an MSDOS copy at normal retail price though.

Okay. RRP is going to be $295 :)

Cheers, Brenton
