- I too, can get it to run, and I also have problems with it randomly crashing
- (itself, not OS/2). I have the 1.05 version, and it runs fine under DOS.
- Also if you do a screen save (alt-ctl-s) it crashes.
-
- I gave it 0 EMS, 64k XMS, and 6 meg DPMI memory plus the usual hw_timer, no
- video refresh animation, etc. The animation is smooth, and redraws are just
- as fast as under DOS. The swing is faster, though, so timing is difficult.
- However, if you master it under OS/2, DOS will be easy :-)
