Hey Gary, why are you using a fake email address?  Hiding
something?

Anyway, back to the subject:  I feel think that the original
poster's language was not called for but he is right.  RA is
definitely in need of a patch.  The Win95 version has a bad habit
of locking up.  I have exchanged email and public postings from
several other people that have the same problem.

How long have you been reading in this NG?  Must not have been
long, or else you would have noticed that examples of the same bug
in RA keeps creeping into this NG a couple of times a week.

Before you ask, yes I play at least 5 other native Win95 games with
no problems.  I also have no problems with the DOS version of RA,
C&C original, Covert Ops, and Dune.

Look before you leap man.
