Heh you have an Amiga version of MugUK as well!
Haha, no but its getting beyond a joke now, so a message is going to be sent to Admin to get it sorted out.
Its not on for someone to cause problems, write a load of guff and then deny people the right to respond, its just not on.
In answer to your question on saving, WHDLoad was ammended several years ago (on my request).
If you have the memory to preload everything, then it will save any save games or hiscores to ram, and then when you quit back to dos, then it will save the relevant data.
So obviously in game, if you save lots of times, the saves will still be done properly.
If you have a low mem system, it will OS swap and save at the time, not after the game has quit, and this is also how it used to work even if you had enough memory, but OS swapping looks daft on a machine with enough memory, so it was changed.
It doesn't take long to save, its merely a second, depending on the size of file to save (Championship Manager 2 is 2x 1meg save files!!!), but obviously as its doing the OS swap, the screen is switched off, and any music is stopped from playing as it restores all the interrupts back to their original OS settings, does the save, and then swaps back again.
