I was told "windows can handle drivers?"  #[;-?]

  )My Computer is an IBM, 224 MEG, Pentium II 300 :-) Half the OLD DOS games
  )runerror 200 without patch, Outrun crashes the whole system (MS-DOS mode
  )not), many games go wayyyyyy to quick, and the rest,... well... is nice :

The real ``O L D s''  do for sure, but who is interested in them? Even some
of the   ^^^^^^^^^^^ good editors, graphic, and utilities type DOS programs
are not able to keep_up with the faster chips! It's a "redundancy_scam!" ;-(

  )Yup I know...... but I don't LIKE the MS-DOS mode... I have to reboot for
  )it ...... *grmbl*

The GOTO_DOS *.pif does ALL that automatic. Then returns you to winders afte
the GAME WIN or LOSE. . . . . whatever? THE new winders will_not let you eve
look_at DOS is what I read in most reports into the future. Go figure. . . .

TL)I still have to try some games under DosEmu... should be fun :)

Look for MS-DOS Mode for Games with EMS and XMS Support in C:\WINDOWS

OR

Just make one from `Make a SHORTCUT for a DOS program using `Properties'.

Keep computing. . . .
