Re: Announcing: Fyleet, Crobe, Sangraal

Since I started a subsection within this thread complaining about not
being able to play these games because of illegal op code errors, I
guess I should end it as well. For the record, two attempts at
downloading the games via Netscape produced files that would not run. I
have in the past successfully downloaded other Inform games by using the
shift key in combination with the mouse button which apparently forces
the save into a binary mode. I have no idea why it didn't work these
times. Common sense then intervened and I switched to an FTP program and
had no problems in downloading the games.

I have only played Fyleet and thought that I was making some progress as
I had amassed 10 points out of a possible 600, that is until I used
"score" right at the very beginning to find that I had 10 points
already!  I have explored some 35 rooms and must admit that I need a
little help to get me to the next plateau of achievement (11+ points).

I have found that using the command CLIMB STATUE (or CLIMB+another word)
produces a normal response but using the single word command  CLIMB
produces "ABORT occurred from a non-exit". Fortunately the game doesn't
crash at this point and carries on as if nothing happened.
