U7 tetrahedron generator problem

Quietly we read <crp2ak$2i42$1@gavrilo.mtu.ru>, unable to contain our
credulity we realized that Moscow Dragon <maxim__s DeleteThis @mtu-net.ru> said

Many thanks for that but I had the ring on my finger, glowing green and
it was enchanted. I could not get inside the tetrahedron whatever I
did.

Anyway I have a new problem now. After reading the FAQ for this group I
downloaded Exult and installed it without reading the manual. Now my
savegame for where I had got to is gone. I thought I could reinstall
from the UC disk but it doesn't work. Is there anyway I can get back my
old game? Or do I have to play U7 all over again to get to where I was?

(Later). Actually I've been able to restore the old game by deleting
the GAMEDAT data and reinstalling U7 and starting a new game so that is
ok.

I'd like to finish Ultima7 but I may just start again with Exult and
take a few weeks to get back to where I was. Not that I'm looking
forward to doing the Test of Courage or fighting the Stone Harpy again.
Ah well. Think I'll leave it for now.

What would really help would be if somebody tried loading my savegame
http://members.tripod.com/billjillians/game00.zip and seeing if the same
thing happends to them. You'll have to use the original Ultima 7 setup
rather than Exult as I played the Dos version up until now. It would
help even more if someone would go into the Tetrahedron and then before
they kill the creature send me a savegame so that I can complete the
rest of the game. The only thing wrong that I'm experiencing is getting
into the tetrahedron.

Many thanks

Tripod doesn't allow this type of file posting, so no-one has been able to
download your save game. You probably have to create a web page with a
link to the zip file for it to work. If you're not familiar with html,
copy and paste the following (everything including and between <html>
and </html> in an index.html file and upload it to tripod:

<html>
<head><title>Ultima Save Game</title></head>
<body>
<p>Get the save game by clicking <a href="game00.zip">here</a>.
</body>
</html>
