Actually, I think Doom is rather well behaved as programs go... it
runs well under OS/2, and supposedly runs under Chicago... I remember
seeing a post saying that it DOES run under NT, and one saying that it
DOES run under NT3.5BetaII... so perhaps you should keep
trying... (try turning off sound or using pc sound... that's what
OS/2ers need to do with versions after 1.1)
You shouldn't worry too much about Doom not working... WinDoom will
probably work just fine...
