Geez... grow up and get a life. If you find making a script too
hard, here's something to help your overworked brain.
AddBuffers GAMES: 1000
Stack 400000
QuakeWS
AddBuffers GAMES: -1000
The first line adds 1000 buffers to the GAMES: drive
so that you get decent caching; lower this is you use
PFS: or FFS: with big blocks.
The second sets the stacks.
The third runs the program. Be sure to put the name of
the program YOU want to run in place of QuakeWOS. :^}
The last line resets the buffers on the drive.
Put this little text file in the same drawer as the game,
give it a project icon and set the default tools to C:IconX.
You may now just double-click the icon from WB to play the
game. If you find this too hard, don't ever buy a PC.
