I have tried to post this twice already, I don't know what I'm doing 
wrong, but here goes again.

Here are the Windows PIF file settings for a computer with 8MB of RAM, 
it should work for 4MB too.  Only people who have a CYRIX Processor 
should have to do this......Because of the lock ups when first moving 
the ship.  (Incidentally, if you take your computer out of turbo, it 
should work)  Anyway, no thanks to CYRIX, here are the settings.

Program Filename, Window Title, and Start-up directory will vary.
Optional Parameters:  Blank
Video Memory:  Low Graphics
Memory Requirements:  KB Required -1  KB Desired -1
EMS Memory:  KB Required 0  KB Desired 0
XMS Memory:  KB Required 0  KB Desired -1
Display Usage:  Full Screen
Execution:  Exclusive
Close Windows On Exit

Advanced settings -
Multitasking Options:  Background Priority 1  Foreground Priority 100
 			Detect Idle Time  not checked
Memory Options:  Uses High Memory Area  Lock Application Memory
Display Options:  Low Graphics  Emulate Text Mode
Other Options:  none set


Hope that helps.
