What are you talking about? I installed N1999 in the following directory
without any problems: c:\N1999... Granted, the stupid Sierra utilies
installs itself automatically. Like I need more garbage on my hard disk.

I think that, especially considering the volumes of posts here daily, we as
r.a.s readers should try and do something towards egging Papy to make sure
N3 uses the GPL engine, even if it is just a whole bunch of emails (if
anyone can find their address, post it!!)...

Well the Sierra Utilities are a *** I'll admit but as I have a bunch of
Sierra programs and it only installs once I can just about live with it.
I just delete it from the Start menu and all is better :)

Hi,

    Will someone please change the name of this thread?  If I have to see the
phrase "has just digged" a couple more times I think my head is going to
explode.

neurotic,

    Well, it is an improvement, but I am still not sure if Papyrus is singular
or plural.  I mean, is Papyrus to be treated as a single entity or as a group of
persons?  Reminds me of the fish/fishes thing.  A pond full of only bluegills
may be referred to as containing many 'fish', but if you add in another species,
the pond then contains many 'fishes'.

Help me Spock,

Maybe I should have said Papyrii, what do you think ?  :)

Well, I was never very good at English anyway.
