Subject: Starflight bug and fix


First of all, let me say that I've been a big fan of your Starflight page
for a long time. It's great resource for a great game. I happy to report
that I can now contribute to this page as well!

I've found a bug and a fix in Starflight 2 for the Mac version. Not only
does the sound not work for PowerPCs (as reported previously in the
"unintentional features" section) but sound must be turned OFF in the game's
options menu in order to leave the starport. If the sound is left on, the
program will crash and must be force quit (option-command-esc) when
attempting to leave the starport.

This has been tested on two iMacs (233 rev A and 333), a G3 blue and white
and a 7600/120. Sound ON will crash, sound off works fine.

Enjoy!
