I have it working with Win98. You have to make a few modifications to the
installation to make it work. Solutions have been posted in this group. I
can repeat it if you dont find it :-)

PLEASE DO!!!!
I had read that someone HAD it working, but when they wiped their system and
tried to re-install it, the procedure they used before didn't work.. Please
post your solution.. can't wait to play it again!!

I will try to remember how I did it. Now I'm at work and dont have GPL on my
PC :-)

First uninstall GPL if you have used the normal install procedure.

1. Unpack the gpldemo.exe to c:\gpl using winzip. (Dont run the file)
2. Copy wininet.dll from c:\gpl to c:\gpl\program
3. Make c:\gpl\program\controls directory
4. Make c:\gpl\program\options.ini writable
5. Start the game from c:\gpl\program\gpl.exe
6. Calibrate joystick/wheel. Exit program before "entering" the car

Here I dont remember, but I think you shall copy the options.ini from
c:\gpl\program\controls to c:\gpl\program directory

7. edit c:\gpl\program\options.ini to reflect the 3dcard you use
    lastRasterizerDLL = rast3dfx.dll               (if you have 3dfx card)
8. Make c:\gpl\\program\options.ini read only.
9. Start the game. It should now be working I hope

Hope this helps
