John, The game is most definitely not designed for Windows. It's a "standard" DOS application. Doesn't cooperate with Windows at all – in fact, it doesn't know… about it. (sorry about the … – term program going berserk). It's running as a Non-Windows app. But Windows still claims to be able to multitask (somewhat) this type of program. It's not running in a Window – it needs to be running in Full-Screen mode. Only way one can get any semblence of graphics performance on a PeeCee is to bang the hardware directly. I understand that these constraints make it very difficult for Windows to multitask this type of program, but I point out that DesqView manages to do the same thing (and no, this program isn't DesqView aware, either) with far less overhead. I didn't put a lot of effort into "tuning" Windows, as it shouldn't be needed. I wasn't running any other programs at the same time. I can accept some slowdown, but the amount of slowdown I saw was incredible. …BobR White Wolf Productions
