It is working for me. I only have played it for about 15 minutes so far
though. Where do you get the problem? I invoked the game from the OS/2
command line by entering rxadv182 promoted.rad and the windows open
up.
Where did you get the rexx-adventure software? I got the 'latest and
greatest' version from 
http://www.io.com/~desantom/rad.html
Do you have both the rxadv182.zip and vrobj.dll? I got both from the
web site.

If this info does not help, go to the http site, Mike DeSanto has an
invitation to e-mail him there.
