This level has a large number of robots and two wheels to distract them with. I have found that this level is to difficult for me. It requires a lot of coordination which I seem to lack. The program will not allow you to advance to the next level until you have solved the previous one. I find it very frustrating to be stuck at level 34. What I want is some way to get past level 34 so I can continue enjoying the game. The game is self booting and has copy protection which marauder does not copy. It does have a directory structure but I have not been able to find the file which contains my level. Somewhere on the disk is the information containing the level I am at along with my name. I have tried to look at the disk with sectorama but it does not have the ability to look for strings (i.e. my name) on the disk. I found a program called diskzap (or something like that) that can look for strings but it is very primitive and very, very very slow. Are there any better disk looking programs (PD) on the Fred Fish disks? Or will I have to spend the time setting the diskzap program with the various ways my name might be stored on the disk (Upper case, lower case, first letter capitalized, etc). This would take hours and my disks would make a lot of noise. I can only hope that my name is not encrypted on the disk. Even better, does anyone know of a trick to get past the level that I haven't figured out. Please Email me your response unless you think your answer would be of interest to the group. Thanks in advance. Stan -- Mail to {decuac,hadron,hqda-ai,uunet}!cos.com!srt (Stanley R. Turner)
