ERROR: unable to open 'storm.nm' for reading

I'm surprised that you do not have that, it is supposed to come with the original VGAP files.

Anyway, it's also contained in hstsup32.zip (Tim's HOST 3.2 support files), a copy of which is still around here: http://space-port.de/VGAP/host/host.htm

I guess we need a download area here as well...

That fixed it of course, working great now!

I can't wait to play around with this more, after playing 6 or 7 very quick test rounds, my inital reactions are:

-WOW, phost runs sooooo fast!! After using DOSBox and TimHost for so long, I'm used to a turn taking at least 30 seconds even WITH turbo mode enabled on DoxBox

-it's soooo nice to be able to set a waypoint in PCCII 600 LY away, and actually have the ship start to move the next turn. It sure will be nice not having to use an auto-task to move in segments for long journeys (to avoid TimHost from auto-trimming far away waypoints)

Thanks Stefan!
