Yes, I observed this myself earlier today.  I'm trying to fix that and
fix a potentially related bug in PhotoShop3 (where PS3 dies the second
time you try to open a file) and look into the DOS slow drive opening
problem.

When I have a handle on those three (hopefully this weekend) we'll
release 1.99p3.

We've already fixed a few bugs that affect PhotoShop 3 (you can open
one file and do things with it), Realmz (it's marginally playable
now), Quicken 4 (usable, although hard to get since Quicken 5 is on
sale now and Quicken 6 will be out soon), FileMaker Pro (usable
again).  I would guess that we'll get the Ultima III bugs fixed and
that Swoop also will be running by the time 1.99p3.
