Came across this link (http://media.putfile.com/IWar) of the original Iwar 
intro movie.  Damn it's been years since I've seen it and I still can't get 
over how good it is for such an old game.  Very professional stuff there. 
Anyway  I'm now itching for some Iwar gaming goodness  -   I have my box, 
CD's and manual but I don't know how in the hell to get this thing to run 
under WinXP.

I've tried running it with this glide wrapper 
(http://www.zeckensack.de/glide/) but all I get is a grey box screen and 
then nothing.   Anyone have any tips?   I wish there was something 
equivalent to Dosbox for Win95/98 as the compatibility modes in XP don't 
seem to work worth shit for any old Windows game.
