This is no help to you but I was just wondering, do you get it to work with
the regular DOS N2?  I use it with N1999 (after shortening the .exe's name)
and I gave it a quick try with the DOS N1999 but it didn't seem to do
anything.  I just thought there might be some trick to get it to work with
DOS.

Thanks,
Rick Miller

  I purchased Game Commander and have been trying to get it to work
online with NROS.EXE.  I have been unsuccesfull.  I tried going online
and starting a race then Alt-Tabbing out and programing it but it had
the TEN profile loaded.  I tried programing the TEN profile but it
wont respond in the race.  I tried importing the NROS.EXE file
manually and programing that but that didn't work either.  Have any of
you been able to get this to work online????  It recognizes my voice
very well even with the mic placed against my lower throat.  I REALLY
want to get this working online as that's the main reason I purchased
it. :-)

I was going to experiment a bit with it. However I think the application
needs to be recognized by Windows. If you can CNTL-ALT-DEL
within Windows and see your application in the CLOSE PROGRAM
box, you should be able to program it. Game Commander may not work
in a W98 DOS box.

Hello,
        I am currently using Game Commander with NASCAR 2 (including NROS.EXE),
NASCAR 1999, and DOS Quake, and it works pretty well.   It took some messing
around, for the software to recognize a DOS game.   Here is how I got it to work
with DOS (box) games:

        Through some experimentation, I determined that Game Commander in
Windows 95 OSR2 detects all DOS games as winoa386.EXE   In order for Game
Commander to work in DOS games, I had to make a copy of the Quake.exe and name
it winoa386.EXE.   Then you can import winoa386.EXE into Game Commander and
setup the voice commands.   You only have to rename one of the DOS executables
(whether it's the Quake.exe, NASCAR2.exe, or nr19993d.exe), for it to work.
Whenever I start a DOS game, Game Commander sees it as winoa386.EXE and loads
the corresponding commands.  

        The only problem I ran into was that it detects all of my DOS games as
that one file.   Therefore, the same set of voice commands is used for every DOS
game.   I setup the commands for DOS Quake - so I have to use those commands in
the other games.   For example:  when I play Quake, I say "negative" = F1 = my
character says "Negative!".   When I play NASCAR 2, I say "negative" = F1 =
display my lap times every lap.   See what I mean?

        I am considering loading Windows 98, so please let me know if you get it
to work under a Windows 98 DOS box also.   Contact me if you have any questions,
and I'll see if I can help.

  Thanks.  I did notice WINOA386 but didn't think to try and program
that.  It works great now.  I am using Win 98 so it works with that
also.  I didn't rename the executables just loaded them and Alt-Tab'ed
out and WINOA386 was listed so I programmed that.  Was surprised to be
able to turn the type rate down to it's fastest setting w/o any probs.

   What you might try with your double game prob is to make a profile
for Quake 2 then rename it to quake2 or somesuch and then make another
for NROS or whatever other DOS game you play and rename it as well.
Then you can create batch files to rename the needed one b4 you
launch.

   Thanks again.
