Crashes? I have never seen Syndicate crash (DOS or DOSBox).

You can save between missions but not during a mission.

Manual?
IIRC, they all work the same way: highlight the weapon/equipment -> right click to use.

Not true.

Nope, won't work on the later missions or especially in the American Revolt missions.

It's an old game. Maybe you should try the sequel, Syndicate Wars (or maybe don't play this game if you don't like it).

I think Syndicate is one of the best DOS games ever, and Syndicate Wars is even better.
