Well, I've been trying to get Shades of Gray up and running on my 
Macintosh with the aid of SoftWindows, and although I do get it running, 
I'm getting a strange bug early in the game.  Once I escape from the 
initial dream, I go east twice, south twice, get the parcel, go north, 
and then suddenly I have 7984 points, I'm at my father's funeral, and as 
soon as I try to leave, I die, then win, and then the game quits.

Is this a known bug in Soggy, or is this an emulation problem?

Incidentally -- if you own a Macintosh, be aware that SoftWindows is 
advertised quite deceptively.  Although it may run at 486 speeds, it only 
includes the instruction set of a 286, so incompatibility runs rampant.
