[Upfront] PBW: Technical Difficulties III

[Matthews, Jeff]

Still not sure if everything is fixed or not,
but at least I was able to start up a new game
and run through most of the actions.  The test
game even made it to the archives, so it looks
like at least we can now start new games.

Please contact me or post to the list if there
are problems with existing games.  Eric is
aware of the situation but I haven't heard back
from him recently.  Thanks.
