Hi, again.

I've been trying various code fragments to try to emulate some old games of mine, and I'm running into a few roadblocks.  I'm hoping that a quick pointer or two will get me going again.

1.  I've read in the documentation that some commands are not available in certain implementations, but I don't know which commands are not available in what implementations.  Can somebody tell me what is not available in Windows?

2.  I can't seem to get my units to change type.  I defined the unit-types and coded the acp-to-change-type table. Is there something more that I need to do?

3.  I can't seem to get my units to produce a material.  I defined the material-type, coded the acp-to-produce table, and material-per-production table. Is there something more that I need to do?

4.  How do I issue orders during the game?  As soon as I press a key in the top window, I get an error window and the game runs "differently" after that.

Like I said, I have some fragments of ideas that I'm trying to pull together.  I'd appreciate any tips that somebody might provide.

Thanks.
