- Sound
-
- If there seems to be problems with the sound setup utility
- (which is run by typing Setsound at the DOS prompt), please note that this needs to
- be run from DOS TEXT MODE 80 x 25. To set this mode, at the command prompt, type 'mode co80'.

- DOS Extender (DOS4GW) problems - (taken from WATCOM help files)
-
- 1. EMM386.EXE provided with DOS 6.0.
-
- We know of at least three serious bugs in the EMM386.EXE distributed with MS-DOS 6.0:
-
- 1. Miscounting the amount of available memory.
- 2. Mapping too little of the High Memory Area (HMA) into its page tables.
- 3. Allocation of EMS memory.
-
- Version 1.95 of DOS/4GW contains workarounds for some of these problems.
-
- If you are having problems with DOS/4GW and you are using an EMM386.EXE
- dated 3-10-93 at 6:00:00, or later, you may wish to try the following workarounds,
- in sequence, until the problem goes away:
-
- 1. Configure EMM386 with both the NOEMS and NOVCPI options.
- 2. Convert the DEVICEHIGH statements in your CONFIG.SYS to DEVICE statements, and remove the
- LH (Load High) commands from your AUTOEXEC.BAT.
-
- 3. Run in a Windows DOS box.
- 4. Replace EMM386 with another memory manager, such as QEMM-386, 386Max, or an older version
- of EMM386.
- 5. Run with HIMEM.SYS alone.
-
- You may also wish to contact Microsoft Corporation to inquire about the availability of a fix.
-
- 2. Bugs in Windows NT.
-
- Although we have not tested the game on a Windows NT system, the following information may be
- useful.
-
- The initial release of Windows NT includes a DPMI host, DOSX.EXE, with several serious bugs,
- some of which apparently cannot be worked around. We cannot warranty operation of DOS/4GW
- under Windows NT at this time, but we are continuing to exercise our best efforts to work around
- these problems.
-
- You may wish to contact Microsoft Corporation to inquire about the availability of a new version
- of DOSX.EXE.
