Tom> (Sorry, I don't remember the exact wording of the message; Tom> but it was definately a mailbox (network) error, secret error Tom> -50.) -50 is "paramErr", which is an error return that Executor often returns when you hit a piece of unimplemented code. Is there a demo version of Spaceward Ho 4.x available? If so, someone over here can run it and figure out exactly what unimplemented routines are being hit. Between now and when 2.0 is released we'll implement more of the system 7 filesystem code and more AppleEvents, but if it's hitting anything other than those two, it may have to wait until after 2.0 is released.

Tell your friends. Tom> Keep up the excellent work, ARDI! -Tom Kludy Will do. We know a lot of people play Spaceward Ho, so if we can get a demo version we'll look into the problem and report back fairly soon. --Cliff
