Has anyone been able to get "Lemmings 2, The Tribes" to run under OS/2?  When I
originally bought the game, I called Technical Service bout my problems.  They
told me that the copy protection was preventing me from being able to play it
under OS/2.  I have a legitimate copy of the game, but can't play it because the
copy protection is too militant.  so, I am looking for anyone who CAN run it
under OS/2 or anyone who can help me find a "crack" for the game.

Thank you,

Larry

I saw a post from one of the os/2 groups from someone who has got it
working perfectly by making a bootable image from the install floppy- He
says you still need the floppy in the drive for it to run though. It
must do some really nasty low level shit to the floppy drive and/or hard
drive when it boots (presumably, if it realises it has booted off
floppy, it doesn't touch the hard drive, and OS/2 doesn't care what it
does to the floppy). I haven't tried it though, and I don't really
understand what it does with the OTHER install floppy (maybe it asks you
to insert it?).
