And she's ruthless in multi-player...

Thanks again.

Here's a guess:

I have to set \"multiple bosses\" to false befor I enter a level that might have them? Setting to false after I enter the level is too late?

If I have no save games prior to entering that level, then I must start over?

Or, I have to set multiple bosses to false before starting a ...

All right... very funny...

I get to the D1 L7 boss, duck into a hallway, and there is a new reactor in addition to the L7 boss. (I lose). Next time, I kill the reactor and win without having to kill the boss. (That's not right either).

descent.tex.eng
descent.tex ...

Excellent. Thanks much. Very clean.
