Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Sunday, November 13 2005 15:47 Profile Homepage #47 I've written a program to solve quadratic equations, and another to divide a cubic polynomial by a linear one (that one was tricky to write and I never used it much; I did it mostly because I was so pleasantly surprised to realise I could actually figure out a way to do it at all). Unfortunately both were lost to me when my graphing calculator was stolen. Ah well; I no longer have any particular need for it anyway.

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Saturday, November 12 2005 02:11 Profile Homepage #33 For OS 9? No, there's no way to run OpenOffice on OS 9 -- there's no native OS 9 version of OpenOffice, and there's no OS 9 implementation of Xwindows. For heaven's sake, just upgrade already. As for Solaris, it's a Unix variant developed by Sun Microsystems. It's fairly commonly used for servers.

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Saturday, November 12 2005 00:19 Profile Homepage #29 Well, if you switch from Windows to Mac, do keep in mind that you'll have to change over a lot of software as well. If you want to use Microsoft Office, for example, you'll have to buy it for your Mac. (Alternatively, you could switch to using AppleWorks or OpenOffice, both of which are mostly capable of opening Microsoft Office files. AppleWorks comes with the computer and OpenOffice is freely available for download, so neither costs you anything over and above the cost of the computer.) -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun!

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Friday, November 11 2005 00:00 Profile Homepage #1 Well, that's really something you have to decide for yourself. On one hand, the Empire has treated the people of Morrow Isle pretty shabbily for quite some time. On the other, the rebels rob and kill innocent merchants to acquire resources and spread fear, so one has to wonder what kind of government they'd set up on the island if they did manage to drive Imperial forces out. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

How do install downloaded scenarios for Blades of Exile? in Tech Support
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, November 10 2005 18:12 Profile Homepage #26 .meg files are graphics in Macintosh format; you only need them if you're using a Mac. .gif files are included so that you can make your own graphics file if the included one isn't working. If you're using Windows, you should remove all of both file types from your scenarios folder. EDIT: You're welcome. I'm glad you managed to get BoE working properly; there really are some great scenarios out there. Check out the Lyceum's Comprehensive Scenario Rankings for more detailed scenario reviews than you'll find at Spiderweb (but be warned that the highest-rated scenarios over there tend to be rather difficult for beginners).

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, November 10 2005 17:45 Profile Homepage #23 You shouldn't have any zip files in your scenarios folder in the first place (so if there are any in there, certainly remove them). Move the .exs and graphic files to another folder until there are fewer than 20 left and try again.

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, November 10 2005 17:31 Profile Homepage #21 Try removing a few scenarios. The scenario selection dialog doesn't work right if there are more than 20 or so scenarios in your folder.
