HOMM2 under MacOS 9.1 cannot open saved games, and the mulit-player
game (via tcpip) locks up on the guest when the game starts. Anyone
our there using HOMM2 with MacOS 9.1?

My monitor is only three years old it I can switch to just about any
resolutions you can imagine, so I don't know what resolution HOMM3
switches to, but if it's 800x600, it's odd, since 800x600 is no
problem on my monitor. It has the same problem with 9.1, so it
doesn't seem to be a OSX problem. Since I can just hit command-F,
it's not a big problem for me.
