What a stupid question??!! He clearly states what is continually repeated
here again and again, without ever a clear answer... He cant!

The OXYD archives on a.a are broken - Oxyd itself, whilst it "works"
contains _NO_ documentation on how to play, or where to get the book from,
or even that you need a book.  I had it online, and had about 20 downloads
of it -and as many messages from people saying "how do I play", and "why is
it impossible to play?".

Ditto with OXYD2.

Is is possible to play either without a manual? How? Where does one get the
manual? How much (I think that is in the game somewhere...) is it?
