I believe it is ALT-+ or ALT-- on the numeric keypad which will increase or
decrease the frames/second rate.  I played WCII on a 486-33 at 5fr/secs and
finished ok.  One tip I used was in dogfighting, as soon as one of the
sleath ships appear, bank hard to immediatly face him.  His first shots
should miss you since you're banking hard and you can usually get a couple
of shots in before he cloaks again.  Another is when in the <insert-name-of
ship-that-has-turrets>, I put my left hand on the function key row and
key the right on the joystick.  This allows me to very quickly change
turrets and fire.

By the way, thanks to all who put up the info on Stacker/WC incompatibility.
I had recently installed Stacker (along with other things) and couldn't
figure out why it was screwing up.  My anomalie was that about 1 min. into
flying, the attitude would just go nuts (hard spin) and suddenly level out
at 0 velocity and the joystick would not respond.  Kinda frustrating.

  Norm.
