- I was unable to get SimLife to work with OS/2. Under the GA (first) version
- it caused some kind of protection error (can't remember the wording) and I
- had to reboot. After installing the service pack, SL generated a very large
- number of print jobs -- before I killed it. No success.
-
- So... I dual-boot to DOS 5.0 and run it there. BTW, SimCity and SimAnt run
- jes fine under the Great and Mighty Oz.
