Essential improvements
The All-Seeing Eye
- The All-Seeing Eye is a program for Windows that adds various optional features when playing the DOS version in DOSBox (automap, save backups, etc.)
Grid Cartographer
- Supported by Grid Cartographer. Its Game Link feature assists in creating the game map. This is not an automap. From the Grid Cartographer's documentation. (note: this is not free software! the 'gamer' edition costs $19,99 and the 'professional' costs $49,99)

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 File/folder structure within the installation folder reflects the path(s) listed for DOS game data. For the GOG.com release, file changes in DOSBox are redirected to
<path-to-game>/cloud_saves/
even if GOG Galaxy is not used (this folder contains all redirected files, so some files in thecloud_saves
folder might be temporary files or other files that do not contain saves or settings).
