Initial Comment:
"Can you tell me what these supposed bugs are that are 
in the freeware version and don't appear with this one?"

Well, like I said yesterday, I had stumbled across the 
BASS thread and noticed all the trouble issues for 
BASS... If you want a for instance, I refer you to the 
issue that stated that Foster "walked on the water." 
I had NO TROUBLE with this part of the game--in fact, I 
purposefully tried to walk over the water and DIDN'T 
succeed....Now, I don't know about sound issues, but 
scriptwise and graphically wise everything was ok (even 
though the sound was turned on, it made a MINOR 
difference in the game even though my computer 
doesn't have sound capability)...I only noticed that in 
certain parts of the game, Foster's actions slowed down 
a bit and one time when Foster tossed the grappling 
hook onto the security sign, I had to wait about five to 
ten seconds for him to continue throwing the hook 
across the empty space.

"Those 'troubleshooting messages' are mostly people 
reading erroneous walkthroughs or issues that have 
since been fixed in CVS (and which you would 
experience with your 'superior'
version as well)." 

I would have to say that this statement is partially true. 
I do agree that SOME of the problems are caused by 
people who don't read the walkthroughs close enough (I 
was a victim of this myself on one occasion). BUT...As 
to the case of Foster walking on the water, I tend to 
disagree. HOWEVER....You people are doing a good job 
by putting patches and stuff for ScummVM on your 
webpage so that we players can experience more 
wholesome gameplay....As I have stated before, even 
though my computer doesn't play sound, I still did not 
suffer from any other major or minor problems apart from 
the fact that the game occassionally slowed down.

"If there are any substantial differences/bugs then I'd like
to hear about them but until then I just assume you don't
know what you're talking about."

My friend, I KNOW what I am talking about b.c I played 
the game up to the rather gross ending. I have already 
addressed the other minor problems above so there is 
nothing more to say. Except this one last piece: If you 
discover ANY OTHER probs with this game not mentioned 
here, it could be a GREAT possibility that our computers 
COULD be different....

Yours truly,

JFB

P.S. I can save my games just fine. (I think there was 
only ONE instance of it not saving).
