Are you using the SDL conversion of the map? It can be downloaded here. The problem is that the Mac version has the terminal picts in the resource fork - if you used a PC protocol to download it, the resource fork would have been stripped away.

Pretty annoying to have to do it over and over again, isn't it?
I have a confession to make - there are some levels of DiaBD that I have never been able to complete on Normal, much less TC - it's not that I don't have the skills - it's just that there isn't enough ammo available and the monsters regenerate too rapidly. We'll get to the worst example in a couple of weeks if I can manage to keep up with daily posts, which is doubtful. A word to the wise - save your fusion ammo for later at all costs!
