Does that mean you have IFS installed, get to the opening screen with the world
map on it, click "Load and Continue" and it actually keeps going?  If so, I'd
really like to figure that out. 

If it's calls to IPicture_get_hpa (I don't remember the exact call name) you
have working with a pallette type of 3 I'd really like to figure that out too.

Thanks for the great help!!  I wish I could do something to help out.  From the
early 1970's through mid-1996 I was a systems programmer on mainframes, minis
when they came out and then on PC's when they came out.  I've been away from it
SO long I don't have a clue what I'm doing anymore.
