	Hello,

	The SOLITAIRE game in FF511 doesn't run !
	A priori, it's not a demo game.

	Anybody has played with that Solitaire ?

I downloaded it this past weekend. It runs fine on my A2500/30. Unfortunelty
my girlfriend has taken a liking to it and has cliamed ownership of my Amiga :-)

What's the problem when you run it? Are you running it from CLI or Workbench?

5239.2If it won't initiate from it's icon...ULTRA::BURGESSMad Man across the waterMon Dec 02 1991 12:0115
re .0

	I don't remember exactly which ones of the fish disks have
this "feature", but there are a few that have project icons that
invoke  PROGRAM  but the program is stored as  PROGRAM. 
yes, WITH the period !  Either edit the icon information or rename the
program file. 

Also, there are a couple, I think ff508 is typical, that have some
name_doc.info  scrambled around as something like  name.doc_info 
Just be sure to hunt around with your favorite directory utility and 
find these.

5239.3Usually VMS induced CX3PT3::WSC017::A_ANDERSONCSC32::A_Anderson NSU/VAX DTN 592-4170Mon Dec 02 1991 16:198
If you take an ordinary Amiga LHARC file and decompress it on a VMS machine all 
files end up with a . after the name it.  ie Program becomes Program. 

Its a feature of VNS.

It puts up that page and a few seconds later, prints "hit anything to continue".

Maybe you aren't waiting long enough?
