- -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.

- Glad to hear that. Tell your friends.

- 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.
