Thanks for this.  I will try this out as soon as I get the chance - probably
this weekend.

Cheers
Patrick.

Here's the discs that actually work.

As Robert wrote, LordOfTheRingsGame1.zip also works. However, this is rather
a "hack". LordOfTheRings-TD.zip kinda works, but you'll have to do some work
yourself. I sorted out this last disc and the result is enclosed. It's five
discs, one for every part of the game. (Actually the first disk is a
stripped version of the entire game.)

Regards,
Mark.
