Advice :

Get CWSDPMI.exe file from the BIN directory in the archive.
freebasic
Or from me, here :
CWSDPMI
The above link (the first) has a link to a download site, that cannot be accesed through archive.org, past a few days ago.

To see the controls, choose ? in the keyboard when you are not in landscape mode, Esc to close the list. x is different than X.

Q QuitGame
X SaveGame

If you want to save the game, SaveGame works if you put Default writen in deadcold.cfg
A SAVEGAME folder will be made with G.txt in it if your character was named G
G.txt will contain lines of text made of numbers and the ingame line which refers to the ship, can be found in it.
