I still think the industry could still make money off DOS :-) E.g if Epic
would make a DOS and WIN95 version of Jazz ][, then i think it would please
more people, especially for those of us who are waiting a year to buy WIN95
and find out how many bug's Microsoft didn't fix in WIN95 <g>

Right now Jazz II runs under DOS and as a native Windows '95
application. Whether or not we continue with DOS development will
depend on market conditions closer to when the game would be released
which is likely not until sometime in 1996.
