Hi Everyone

Firstly, it closes fine for me, so I think it must be falling over
internally (or looping). If I can reproduce your problem I'll fix it.
Did everyone set the root directory as asked, or did they just use the
'open file' option? I'm thinking of taking that option out as I never
use it anyway :)

Yeah, I can see that having 35 images open would be a problem. It's on
the list.

Someone asked about Pascal earlier - the Pascal support is very
rudimentary, and it's only there so that I could read my Wizardry
scenario disks. As I find out more about the format, the support will
improve.

As I think Henry mentioned, if it can't handle a particular disk (140K
only at this stage), email me a copy of the disk and I'll fix the
browser.
