SMAX bugfixes

[jwkinneyjr]

I've got original disks of SMAC and SMAX. I'm running SMAX on a Lenovo R61i laptop with WinXP and about 3 GB of memory.

I'm having problems with the large map bug (crash to desktop) and the scramble aircraft bug (also crash to desktop). Reading old threads here on Apolyton and on Civ Fanatics, I found that several programmer types have apparently corrected these bugs on their own systems.

My question: Are any of these fixes available to us non-programmer types? It's very annoying to be in a hot game and suddenly the program crashes.

I'm having problems with the large map bug (crash to desktop) and the scramble aircraft bug (also crash to desktop).

I'm familiar with the scramble aircraft bug causing a crash to desktop.

I'm not sure about the large map bug that causes a crash to desktop. Could you describe in detail what happened? If you have a save before the crash, we would appreciate it if you could post it here.
