I typically do modify the times to reflect the version number. Of course that's not necessary by any means, but it's a habit I started doing as a quick and easy contingency to help me in the event of files becoming crossed, e.g. if I were to accidentally drop files into the wrong version folder

Gold Miner game... Note: I was trying under FDT2308... where you was trying under FDT2310 (need to check this new release!). I just tried under MS-DOS 5 (under QEMU with sb16)... like you described... works sometimes... but always extremely too fast._

Seems for me, it never run if with sound under QEMU ( -device sb16 ). Esc stop it with an error code. But it run (extremely too fast!) with gminer -ns -ns means no sound Works well under dosbox however... I think I had tested it only under DosBOX... sorry for that! Don't know for other DO
