And you can specify individual lines in a config.sys and autoexec.bat for each
game that you run.  You can let Win95 set it up or in a rare case specify your
memory req's and autoexec.bat and config.sys lines.  So fare I have run: Dark
Forces, Descent, Doom and Doom2, and Wing Commander 3 from an icon on the
desktop.  In each case Win95 has had control over the program and it has run
great.  I haven't found a game that requires rebooting, booting to Dos prompt,
or needing me to specify memory and config.sys and autoexec.bat lines.
