- It is my impression (and I reserve the right to be wrong :-) that MS Golf is
- the same game as Links, *not* Links 386 Pro. So you really should have

- 6 megabytes is the ideal amount of memory for Links 386 Pro. 2 Mb + 3Mb
- isn't enough for Pro, which lends a bit to my theory.

- You really should have waited for Links 386 Pro! It's great.... (and now
- that it runs under OS/2, I'm even happier!)
