	The way I read the original post, he was referring to Win95's
"Ultimate Compatibility Mode".  This is basically an automated equivalent
of Warp's dualboot feature.  It saves the state of the OS, sends you back to
real DOS, then reloads the OS from disk.  There is also the option to run
games in DOS boxes, which is more what you had in mind.

	Most of the DOS settings should be the same for any game.  You can
just copy one of the built-in game objects to get mostly optimal settings.
As for separate config files, you can assign a list of drivers and TSRs to
each individual program object.  All of the stuff you would normally set in a
text file is accessible through the settings dialog.

	Sigh, at least you didn't use the term "ROOLZ".  Anyway, even the
MS crowd says that NT is the future.
