Hey all,

Is there any way you can run DOOM from within Windows, It is nice to use the 
ALT-TAB as a boss key (especially at work!)

I know it is possible when running WOLF, however WOLF is not even comparable 
to DOOM.

Just thought I'd try.

No.  As of version 1.1, DOOM will _NOT_ run under ANY version of Windoze (whe 
would you want to cripple the game with all that overhead anyway?  I mean, if 
you want to make it run that slowly, play it on a 386SX/16 with the turbo 
button off!).
