| It calls several drivers, and then simply runs one of three executables depending upon flags. Here's part of it:
cd xm
midrv
bgmdrv
grpdrv
checksys.exe
if errorlevel 1 goto EXIT
:OPENING
opening.exe
:STARTUP
if errorlevel 2 goto GAME
if errorlevel 0 goto EXIT
etc...
Now, all this works fine if I run it from DOS--or WinXP's equivalent. But the shortcut creates problems. Since starting this thread I've been able to get it to partially run by changing emulation to Win95, and most importantly, adjusting memory from Auto to 4 MB extended/expanded (I forget at the moment which it requires). But there are still some anomalies relating to the music and mouse that don't crop up if I simply drop to DOS rather than use the shortcut.
