When I upgraded to Win95 from DOS6.2/Win3.1, Civilization would no
longer play properly.  My machine is a AMD 486-133 with 16 mB of RAM.  

I now get a message:

MEM AVAIL =  6535
MEM NEEDED = 8000

I get this same message regardless of whether I run it in a DOS window
or as a reboot to DOS.  Also, changes in the memory settings in the .PIF
file have no effect.

Has anyone gotten CIV to run with Win95?
