Er.....never mind. I managed to work out the problem!

Turns out the problems I mentioned only occur when I run the game in Dosbox (version 0.63). If I run the game in Win XP, no text problems!

BUT: my mouse doesn't work in the game if it is run in XP!
Luckily, the game allows the use of the keyboard (arrow and enter keys)

Unfortunately, the arrow keys are not precise enough to enable you to take certain small items on certain screens (i.e.: the cursor cannot be maneouvered (spelling?) over the key when trying to use the magnet on it in Dr. Claw's castle, without the mouse)

The only solution I had was to run game in XP, get to a point where I couldn't get an object without a mouse, saved the game, exited, ran game in dosbox, loaded up, used the mouse to get/use the necessary object, saved, exited, then restarted the game in XP.

Also, I managed to complete the game! Took a few hours I think (took quite a while before I worked out what to do with the bits that make up the robot remote!)
