Windows 95 can do this... no problem.  If you have 4 megs o' ram, set
the program to run in DOS-MODE and it runs BETTER than it runs in dos
6.22 and below... cause it runs in dos 7.0.

For Windows 95... NO problem whatsoever.  Again... run in MS-DOS MODE
if you have 4 megs of ram.

I thought this would be step number one cause Windows 95 runs THIS and
Tie Fighter with full detail.  The SFX can sometimes be screwy (but I
use a Soundmaker 16e... anyone ever heard of it), so I think my sound
card might have something to do with that.  If you can't get the SFX
to run propertly in Windows, switch to DOS MODE and it will run just
fine.
