All: Does N2 have to be ran from W95 to race on NROS?? Thx Steve

>Does N2 have to be ran from W95 to race on NROS?? Yes. The TEN front end is a Win95 application. Mike Radler

Yes. TEN will not run in DOS, only in WIN95. The NROS is on TEN, no way around it sorry to say. >All: Does N2 have to be ran from W95 to race on NROS?? >Thx >Steve

I'm not sure I understand the question so I'll explain how it works. You connect to the internet via your own ISP then run the TEN software (or run TEN's software and use one of thier local dialups). You'll log in with your TEN id and password then access the N2 area, then choose a zone to race in (zones are rated based on the quality of your connection to each). Once in a zone you can create a race, join an existing race or just chat if you'd like. You can join races anytime prior to the end of the practice session (password protected races, and races limited to certain skill levels not withstanding). So far you've been using the TEN front end software (Win95 app). When the race's creator starts the practice session (right away if practice has begun already), the TEN front end software will run the program nros.exe (nros version of N2). After the race you end up back in the zone. Nros.exe is still a DOS app and will be run in a Win95 dos box but Win95 nor the TEN software can be shutdown while nros.exe is running. Just sign up for TEN's 5 hour trial period. That should clear alot of things up. Mike Radler

Steve,n2 must be run in win95.
