> Just a minor point, Win98 is not a Windows Operating system. It is a GUI
application running on top of a DOS operating system.

Win NT, 2000, XP and I hate to mention it: Vista. All of these systems do
not allow direct access to ports as DOS does and this is the reason that TR
will not run on a Windows platform.

Hi Bob,
There was a reason why Microsoft named Win3.1 then 3.11 and Win98 "Windows".
That reason is just GUI. Then "Real Windows" as you call it, such as NT and
XP is merely a transition from Windows to what you hate mention -Vista :)
