: It does it as well, what you get is a Win95 shutdown which ends in a DOS
: session (as via dualboot) and when you exit the game Win95 starts up again.

: solution.

The DOS session isn't needed - you can configure the program with properties
- what the DOS reboot primarily does is allows you to build your config.sys
and autoexec.bat according to each program.  This isn't normally necessary. 
For example:  To run WCIII, I just chose my CDROM drive - which I loaded NO
drivers for (it's automatic on my Mitsumi) - found wc3.exe and double
clicked - runs fine - a bit longer in the load times, but close to same
frame rate.  I finally set up an icon and changed the properties.  You can
choose how much CONVENTIONAL, EMS, XMS, DPMI to allocate for each program in
the properties settings.  After setting this up - I am quite content with
WCIII running through Win95.  So, it _CAN_ be done - and effectively as well
- haven't tried this yet - but I have 8mb ram and can allocate 16 if I wish
in the properties area - will prolly just swap to HD - but will allow me
those extra features....

My observations,

An optimist may see a light where there is none, but why
must the pessimist always run to blow it out?
