The PC in question doesn't have Windows installed, just the DOS components
of 98 from a setup disk.  I installed it pretty much as you described above
just a few minutes ago before logging onto the net.  I'll have to edit the
RF.CFG file.  So far I only edited the PRIV.CFG file and the game ran.  I
think I need to install a DOS mouse driver. :-7

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions!
