- Ultima VII will not run at all under OS/2's DOS box because Origin so
- stupidly wrote their own memory manager that is incompatible with any
- other's. Heck under DOS I had to boot it off a floppy that didn't load
- up QEMM. What a pain.
-
- A fair comparison would be Ultima Underworld, or Wolfenstein 3D which
- both run great under OS/2.
