zip created, added the save & dxdiag

What size map are you playing Harpo? I notice the debug indicates 16x16 but if it's anything like my recent oom the map size is wrong.

i.e. 8 by 10 sectors where each sector is 16 by 16 giving a total 160 by 128

I think that the tactical maps are about 16 x 16, whch from what I remember of the tac maps is about the correct size.
