I have installed and played about 50 abandonware games on linux using dosbox, dosemu or scummvm. Coming to think of it, most of the time linux is the only choice when trying to run old games, since no newer MS OS supports them. I have noticed some glitches when running certain LucasArts games in dosbox, but that's solved using scummvm instead. - -- Francisco Andrades Grassi www.nextj.com Tlf: +58-414-125-7415 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE/zcXeGQPFH+shC0oRAmHLAKCija5rmQ75pNltwofmcnG7kYfq6wCeInSS YP/6aL0y5EgGqYiuFeItgbo= =Maxy -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I seem to remember the same problem intermittently in OSX so I think it's a problem with the Classic Emulation, rather than MOL.

Also, with todays machines, it should be possible to install it into a DOS RAMdisk too. Not sure if FreeDOS supports that though, or how to go about it, my DOS skillz are a bit rusty nowadays. I believe you can get the game itself legally from some abandonware sites.
