Yeah I just figured that when it missed all of my break points.  Well i can not
be the only one with this problem. If i add -steam, then i get about 234983
errors starting with Can not find gfx.wad and ending with the last file in the
valve pak0 file. then after those errors, I get a number of illegal operations
followed by some other shit.

this is what did

steam.dll into ...email/half-life/
created steamapp.cfg and placed it into ...email/half-life/

here is my config

SteamAppId=70
SteamAppVersionId=0
SteamInstallPath=c:\steam
SteamAppUser=my_steam_name

then i set up VS6.0 to copy the dll into the correct folder(this is irrelavate
for debugging), then i linked to the correct dll under in the debug tab as well
as set up all the correct paths for debugging

It will execute my mod fine WITHOUT the -steam
but as soon as i put it in there, well yeah... you know the rest.

I have looked over his instructions at least 6 times and I have checked them
all off. I can assure anyone they are done correctly.
