Well, I applied the Risk patch that appeared recently on comp.sys.mac
to (a backup of) the Risk game.  And it works.  Sort of.

The patch destroys the Multifinder-compatibility of the game.  If I
run it under Multifinder, it works as if I hadn't applied the patch
(it quits without warning).  Without Multifinder, though, it works
OK.  The only problem is cosmetic:  when the program tries to show
you your cards or tries to display the About window, it apparently
puts the main screen into monochrome mode (the desktop blacks out,
the apple menu appears in black and white UNLESS you pull down the
apple menu, etc.)  Strange bugs indeed.

Oh, well, it seems to work well enough for my purposes.  Thanks to
whoever posted the patch.  (Now, if only the author would really
FIX it, so I could use it under Multifinder... hint, hint!)
