- 1. Change the "retrace emulation" setting under dos to "off". This was what
- was killing you.
-
- 2. I recommend setting the "interrupts during I/O" (don't have one ? see next).
-
- 3. Install the SP if you have not already done so. It fixes a hangup when the
- game exits (you would will see if after you fix (1)), and also adds 2.
-
- 4. The last time I checked, making a windows out of wolfie crashes os/2.
- I know of no fix, just don't go back to the desktop until you finish the
- game.
