The source file is not in GFA format #1

Instead, I think this is in ASCII format and should therefor have the ending .LST.

Hi kollokollo, yes it does seem to be in ASCII format. you're right. Which is odd because I lost my copy of GFA 3 and therefore I can't figure out how I converted it! I will change the file extension.

Hi adelaydeelsevir , it looks like it was made with "SAVE,A". However, If you do not have GFA-BASIC anymore, you could use gfalist to convert from GFA to LST. https://github.com/mmuman/gfalist

It seems to be a really cool prpgram. I whish one could run it on modern computers...

Thanks, well I guess it is readable in ASCII format, but I think I'll leave it for anyone downloading it to work it out. Incidentally have you managed to get it loaded running in GFA?

Well, now the format is OK, but there are other files missing: DEFAULTS.FE2\PALETTE.DAT DEFAULTS.FE2\TITLE.SCR DEFAULTS.FE2\FRACENG2.EXE
