This actually isnt a bug, it was just never incorporated. I suppose
I should tho, huh. k...i'll add it. I just never thought to.

As Goemon pointed out, saying no to a night at the INN, (or just
pressing DEL to exit the inn) prompts the save screen. I say this in
the readme of v1.1, I believe.

That's true. There are some problems with why the items cant come
back... 1) The map is stored on a .db...writing to the map is a bitch
(since it's pretty big), and resetting values is even more of a bitch.
The treasure chests all come back when you start a new game, but
there's to actually have a saved-game info of which chests you have got
and havent would require a really shitty routine of matching your .db,
SAVECHEST against, say, CHESTS. All in all, let's just say it wasnt a
routine i wanted to incorporate.

This does occasionally happen..why, I dont know..i've checked the
routine throughly. Sometimes in battle it will be 1-2 off, but it's
never greater than that, I dont think.

Bah, doesnt bother me...I like it when people find bugs, cause
it helps me get rid of them. I'm glad you like the game tho..beat it
yet? There's two different ends, one's lame, one's less lame.. :) I'm
working on Dune II right now actually...I was working on Secret of
Mana, but couldnt get good enuff animation frames :(
