I sit corrected. I've had quite a few replies on this... oddly enough, I
tried a gettable projectile on my computer, and yes, it did lock up, but only
if I used the projectile (a gettable rocket for health) several times. There
_should_ be a way to stablize these however. I can't see how on some machines
it works fine, while on others it crashes.

Mike, I've repeatedly stated I don't *have* FTP access. (Boy, does my life
suck :) The problem with getting the explosions was fixed easily enough, but
the "gettable projectiles" crash still happens. A slightly altered PLAYPAL and
COLORMAP in a WAD got rid of the red easily enough. Giving a negative speed to
the rockets over came the eastward drift. The only real remaining problem is
the bit 4 crash... On my machine, at least, the game will randomly lock up
after a time of using the jetpack/rocket launcher, but only if you have it
selected at the time, apparently.
... Windows 95: Get stoned before you install it... the crashes are COOL!
