> As of now I have not seen anyone run Doom under Windows
 
DOOM needs every ounce of CPU power it can get. It would *NEVER* be able to
run properly under a resource hog such as Windoze. Besides, why would you
WANT to run it under Windoze? Do you need an icon to click on? Is typing
D-O-O-M <enter> too difficult?
 
As you may have already guessed... I think Windoze is about as useful as a
screen door in a submarine.  ;-(

I run DOOM with QEMM memory manager. It works just fine. I run it from an
ordinary boot (i.e. mouse driver, ANSI.SYS, ramdrive, disk cache etc..) all
loaded (loaded hi, no less). It works fine, AND it doesn't trash the
machine. After playing DOOM, I can exit back to DOS and do anything else
reliably. It's a VERY nice piece of programming.
