Don't get upset...  there is no battlezone newsgroup yet and the
question I have has already been asked and answered for Quake2.  The
question is this:

How do you make the little hack that allows you to play the game without
the CD in the CDrom unit?  The last one I got for quake2 was built so
that it was independant of the exacutable (so when patches came out, it
would still work).

I own both Battlezone and QuakeII.  I'm not looking for a way to pirate
software or anything like that... I just want to be able to play
independant of the CD.  My CDrom has been intermitent for a while now,
and right after I installed Battlezone it flaked out for good.  I have a
new one on order... but don't know when it will get here.  As you may
have well guessed... multiplayer in Battlezone is dependant on the CD
being in the unit.  If you haven't tried BAttlezone... you should!  It's
great!  I was exclusively playing Quake, then QuakeII, but since
Battlezone came out I haven't made it back to Quake yet.  I;m sure I
will, but for now I'm enjoying the Strategy games in BZ.

ok then,  it's out there.  I hope someone can help me since I'm itchin'
to play a multiplayer game of BZ tonight and I'm about to put my foot
through the CD unit to try and make it read again.  Oh, since I'm on the
subject.  Anybody know how to make a defective CD unit work?  It would
sometimes spin the CD, sometimes not.  Now not at all.  This is the
second unit from the manufacture.. same problem for both.  I tried
cleaning it, no help.  It's a Tochiba Xm-6002B.  I even tried replacing
the IDE cable, still no help.  What's really odd to me is taht two new
units malfunctioned the same way.  Anyways, thought I'd through it out
there.
