I seem to remember that Wing II is not supposed to run on a Stacker Drive
(even under STACKER v2.0) and therefore I am suprised that it works at all.
Wing II requires such power (ie Speed and Memory) that it cannot work properly
in any other enviroment than the DOS (or other OS) shell. You will remember 
that it warns you not to try to run it under Windows, I think the same goes 
for STACKER and any other enviroment.
