I know you can do it, but I don't know how. What settins should I use?
Any help is greatly Appreciated.

It worked straight out of the box for me. The only caveat is that you
musn't select "protection" in the "memory" tab of the shortcut's
property dialog or the TSRs won't work and you will probably get an
error trying to exit the game.

Don't bother trying to run it in a window.

One of these days I'll actually wake up and think before I post.

Okay, a frequent problem seems to be that the game just bombs out if
there isn't enough memory. You don't get any warning, it just exits
immediately.

Make sure you have at least 600000 bytes of free conventional memory
(start a DOS shell and type "mem"). If you don't, you may have to
fiddle with your autoexec.bat and config.sys to get enough (make sure
you load EMM386 to get UMBs; yes, even under Win95).

So much _easier_ with OS/2 isn't it.....just give the session the full
640K!        B-)

Cheers!
