Got this game about (hmm) a year ago i guess. Just briefly, its quite a
nice little game with a lot in the package, and a lot in the freedom of
the style of play : if you are prepared to fork out the necessary dollars
for it! (Mine was a gift.)

Anyway - i think i've found a troublesome bug. Possibly it may be due
to a shonky disk drive but experimentation with different drives seems to
set the lie to this.

	This is what happens : sporadically, items in a characters inventory
turn to must. Generally if it happens to one character it happens to them all.
When an item is examined it has nonsensical attributes (no weight, a garbled
name etc. etc.)

	To compound this very often saved versions of the game will have the
same problem : i at one stage resorted to saving several versions at once
and checking them immediately for integrity.

	i'm running the IBM version on an Amstrad PPC640 portable. Anyone
else seen this?
