	With Bouncing Bluster, you have to have the disks named correctly..
Were the archives you unpacked disk archives?  If not, did you name the 
disks correctly (presumably provided in a README). 

	I have definitely gotten Bouncing Bluster to work, though I haven't
played it in years.. It's fun, but hard.. Also it has paths hardcoded in it
up the wazoo.  I remember there being an option to "set path" so you could put
it on a hard drive, but I never got that to work -- probably because I was
using too late of a version of System software. (Someone else posted recently
it doesn't work with 5.x or presumably 6.x either)

	However, there is a Bouncing Bluster II commercial program that 
may very well have solved all of these problems. I don't know for sure though
as I don't have it.

	Oh, yeah that is another bit of evidence that it doesn't work with
newer versions of system software.
