   Well, I was having a bunch of problems as well, until I got around
it with GNO. Basially, SpaceFox looks for the volumes :Spacefox and
:SpaceFoxSongs, and if it can't find them (I run games off my HD, thank
you :), it puts in some rather stupid protection, aka turning off the
SHR screen. So, using GNO 2.0.4's namespace trick, I made 2 volumes. If
you have GNO 2.0 or later (maybe this exists in 1.x; I never had 1.x),
add the following lines to your /etc/namespace file:

:spacefox	:games2:games:spacefox:spacefox
:spacefoxsongs	:games2:games:spacefox:spacefoxsongs

   Where :games2:games:spacefox and all is where you've installed the
disks on your HD.
