hi, ive never heard anything about that game before. but after a little search i found a good review and the free/shareware version here.
it seems to be a good but unknown console-style RPG. i will do some testings and try to reproduce the error.

EDIT: ok ive got the same error like you under dosbox and real dos, when i try to save/load a game.
ive simply removed the write protection from all files and the game worked perfectly in both cases...

Hate to sound like a noob, but how would I do that?

Highlight all of the files in Windows Explorer, right-click on the highlighted area, choose properties, uncheck "read-only", hit ok.

or surf to the directory via command line and do an "attrib -r *.*".

Thanks to both of you, everything is fine now =]
