Hi,
I'm just curious to see if anyone has had success running and DOS game
in Windows NT. I am currently experimenting with this new operating
system.

I do not believe the protected architecture of Win NT allows hardware
access for non natively-NT applications.  That would mean that DOS apps
(and yes, our beloved f1gp1 and f1gp2) might even run (if at all) but
without sound.  This is true at least for WinNT 3.51, and I don't believe
they would have changed the protected memory models for NT4.0b2.
