downloading one large file, it would be a very convenient solution
for me. I will appreciate it if you do it for me I look forward to
it, in fact. I have always planned to go back through all the Club
messages one day (to build the Chronology I plan to put on my
website, if nothing else), and getting the messages as text files
from you can save a lot of work, I suppose.

existed, because I'm still not exactly sure what procedure Steve of
TZX Vault and Martin of WoS follow in order to create the .tzx files
of MM and JSW games, and whether the use of the real Spectrum is not
involved at some point. Steve uses the word "dump" consistently, but
I am not sure what he means by "dumping" a file.
In any case, it sounds good to have "perfect" images of JSW games,
and if somebody creates them out of nothing better still, it's
another act of JSW/MM creation :-) .
II. DrUnKeN mAsTeR!!!
Thanks for answering all of my questions :-) .

called "BizProb.z80" in my folder (Daniel Gromann) of the Files
section (I will take it off as soon as you have downloaded it -
please let me know). If you jump to the left from the exact position
Willy is standing in (or after making another move to the left), you
will see the infinite-death scenario.

several random files (on a computer where I still have JSWED 2.2.3
installed, but I think it doesn't matter) and most of them seemed to
work fine, at least the games loaded well into the emulator after
being resaved as .tap files in JSWED, into which they had been
loaded as .sna files. "Join the Jet-Set!", "The Deadly Mission"
and "Monstrum" worked fine, and so did "The DrUnKeN mAsTeR!!!". The
only problem I had of the files I tried was "Willy's Holiday", but
this is because it has a fancy loading screen and when you load
the .sna file into JSWED you see the starting position for Willy in
room 02 where the only thing you can expect is multiple death.
DrUnKeN mAsTeR!!!, before you save the files, do you choose "TAP" on
JSWED's "Game properties" screen? Sorry if it's a stupid question,
but I don't understand why you have problems saving .tap files, and
I would like to help you.
