To any of you out there who might be thinking of downloading the LANDS OF LORE game (from 'THEUNDERDOGS.ORG'), you perhaps had better forget it. It took me 13 hours (dial-up with 56K modem) of download time and the damn thing doesn't work yet. I have had problems with no INSTALL or SETUP.EXE included with the download stuff. I may eventually get all the files I need - maybe not. Even if I get all the necessary files the thing may not work for lack of conventional memory!! Many of us do not think about conventional memory as it is apparently mostly a DOS thing. WINDOWS more or less refuses to acknowledge that another operating system exists so most of us don't have a problem with it unless we try to run games that were written basically with DOS in mind. MICROSOFT has had problems with refusing to acknowledge that other things do exist - thus their legal problems. I have a problem with WEB SITES that offer games for download when some of those games do not work. What good are games you can download that end up being nothing but problems. Missing files, corrupt files, etc. Apparently, these people at these WEB sites do not check out this stuff before making it available for download!
