Help? Can't save 'Curses'!


22 May 1995 03:59:26 GMT

Hi... I hope I'm asking this in the right place. If this is inappropriate,
please be kind. It's just that I'm so eager to play Curses, and so
frustrated at my inability to 'save' games, that I couldn't wait and lurk
here a week or so to find out if this is a frequently asked question.

Here's my trouble. I downloaded Curses and ZIP from an archive onto my Mac
Classic (black and white, system 7, 4/40). I can play the game fine, but
whenever I try to save my position, I get a box-with-a-bomb, and the
message that there has been an 'address error.' I have to restart. When I
come back, my saved position is there, with the name I gave it, but if I
try to restore it from within the game, same old
bomb-address-error-restart problem. I downloaded the game and ZIP from
another archive, just to see if something was wrong with the copy I had,
but I get the same problem.

Am I making any sense here? Has anyone out there had this same problem, or
know how to solve it? Curses has been great fun, the little I've played,
but if I can't save positions, I'll never be able to get very far at all.
:(

If you have any ideas or suggestions, anything at all, posts or private
email will be great. Thanks for your time.
