I am having trouble running Keen4 on my 286.  My setup is a 286-12Mhz with
1 Mb memory, EGA monitor with ATI EGA card with 256 kb ram.  

When I move Keen horizontally, the screen shakes severely.  It seems that the
program can't update the screen fast enough when Keen is moving horizontally.
But there is no problem when Keen is moving vertically.  

Another strange thing is that in the opening screen, it says that it finds
about 340 kb of standard memory.  But I've loaded Dos 5 high and when I
run mem at the dos prompt, it says that I have 583 kb available.  Is there
something screwy going on here?

BTW, Keen4CGA runs fine on my computer.  But I'd rather have more colors!

Thanks for any replies.
