It may not, and that > wouldn't be a huge shock. Sad but true. Go back to Warcraft 1 (or > similar game, search Gog.com), which actually ran on real DOS. There may have been a Windows-specific version of Warcraft II released at some point? But the Warcraft II that I`m familiar with did run under plain DOS (well... with DOS4GW). Only the included map editor needed Windows (3.1 or higher) to run. And I played LAN games under DOS by setting up an IPX network. Check the device driver archive for the ethernet card for: a setup program (for configuring IRQ and I/O address, not all cards come with one), LSL.COM, NET.CFG, and a driver (often called IPXODI). > *snip* > > I am against abandoning or throwing out "working" hardware just > because it's not the latest fad anymore.

This is my feeling as well. The implications of "buy our new version! because our old version was crap!" seem to be lost on most. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
