Hi kids,

I need help making Frontier run on my peecee, it worked fine on my Amiga, so
when I got a peecee, the first game I bought was Friontier on CDROM.

BUT, in six months, the closest to making it work I've got is three lines of
error codes.

I need a DOS mouse driver, and I don't know where to get one.

also, it seems I have to set up my memory differently, something I've never
needed to do.

"Unable to run Frontier - not enough free base memory available. Requires
580k free base memory to run."

blah blah blah...

But I've tried booting into an absolutely minimal configuration of DOS, but
it's still no joy, so I'm here to beg for you help.

I use a P133 with 32meg memory, running the usual win95 gear.
A matrox mystique and an AWE64.

Please giv me some pointers?

TIA
