	I recently acquired the game "Patton Vs. Rommel" for my Macintosh Plus
and am having a rather frustrating problem with it. The instructions say to
play the game I should put the game disk in a floppy drive and boot my Mac.
	Now as far as they go, these instructions are correct. But I have not 
been able to find a way to run the game at any time other than boot time. If
I click open the game program after I've booted, I get a lot of garbage on the
screen, lose my mouse cursor, and have to shut the machine down.
	It seems like I shouldn't have to reboot my machine everytime I want to play a game. Any info anyone has about this game in general and my problem in
particular would be most greatly appreciated.
