     If the version of krabat you have is v1.1 (if it's higher, could you
pleeeease send me a copy :-)), and you *didn't* get it from atarinet or
listserv@canada01, then the pictures should probably go into PICTURES.BW
or PICTURES.COL, depending on whether you're running in high or medium
res.  If you *did* get your copy from one of the file servers mentioned
above, try putting everything (pictures, openings, etc.) in a folder KRA
(or KRAB, I can't remember which) in your root directory.
     Why the difference?  A friend of mine sent me v1.1 about a year ago.
I didn't like having the files hanging about in various directories, so
I used a disk editor to hack the program so it searched for all the files
in one directory.  I subsequently posted copies of that edited version to
atarinet and listserv.  That was probably a no-no, but I neglected to keep
a copy of the original, and it didn't seem worth the trouble to change it
back.  (Besides, that was back in the days when everyone was living in mortal
fear of the DREADED 40-FOLDER BUG. :-))
     BTW, has anyone had any problems with krabat1.1 running in color?  I
run it in high res, and it's never so much as dreamed of cheating on me,
but some friends of mine with color monitors claim the program is bug-
ridden.
