I uploaded my 100% run for Taxing 4 - Lend a Helping Hand.... to the web portal. For some reason the water graphic doesn't show up in Lemmix, does anyone else have this problem?
There should be no water graphics on that level for DOS Lemmings, if I recall correctly. DOS Lemmings is missing water or lava on many levels (as compared to the Amiga or Windows version, say), probably due to memory constraints etc.

Maybe we could start a database for keeping max lemmings saved solutions? I'd be more than willing to help out.
Or a file portal directory...
What does everyone think about adding a description field to the portal?
Update: I just managed to save 77/80 on Taxing 27 - Call in the Bomb Squad. The solution requires all ten bridges as well as a perfectly timed bomber.
It is therefore possible to lose a total of only 68 lemmings.
The Lose 3 solution is tricky to pull off (comparable in difficulty to the 100% solution on Taxing 16). You need one blocker/bomber and 3 bridges to hold the crowd, a bomber to lower the start of the main bridge (so that the builder doesn't hit his head), and a blocker to turn the lemmings around toward the exit.
Here are a few hints (highlight them to read):
1. Stack 3 bridges on one of the stairs to keep anybody from going right.
2. In order to start the main bridge as low as possible, time a bomber so that he goes off right after he begins to fall off the left edge of the ground (This is by far the hardest part of the solution, as the bomber must be timed exactly right).
3. From the bomber's hole, build 6 bridges left, then block (the builder cannot hit his head on the ceiling or the solution will likely fail). Use the last bridge to reach the exit.
