I have intsalled the Linux emulator and it seems to run the executable OK but the game doesn't work properly. I start it running and the title screen comes up. If I do nothing, I get a message in the xterm where I started it saying: Error: Demo is from a different game version! This is using the shareware doom1.wad. I do not have sndserver running (as I don't have a sound card). The command line is "linuxxdoom -3" to expand the size by a factor of three as documented in README.linuxx. If, instead of just doing nothing when it starts, I hit enter and start selecting from menus, I get to the "Choose skill level" menu and then it aborts with the message: Error: W_GetNumForName: STTMINUS not found! Does anybody have this working? What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help, Graham
