Subj: Kingdom O Magic

From: "Nigel Baker" <bakern@ibm.net>

I have just purchased (cheaply) this game from 1996.
I am trying to get it to work under OS/2. It will run
without sound, but it crashes when attempting to auto-detect.

John Hong, in his FAQ (1997) lists the game as running OS/2.
So it should be possible. I assume it needs changes to the 
DOS settings. Rather than go through all variations of the
setting, I was hoping someone out there may have been
successfull in getting the game running.

Thanks, Nigel.

Never heard of it...who makes the game? Allot of older DOS games have fixes
at their site that help. Also Just working with the Ram settings in OS/2
help allot.

From: "Dawn Thorne" <itsme@oz-online.net>

Logitech Wingman Extreme is by far the best. I have one and use the heck out
of it in OS/2. I have an AWE 32 (Soon to gone) and it works great playing
games such as Magic Carpet 2, Hi Octane, Nascar 2, etc. It's both Digital
and Analog. I think it's only 40 bucks also. Good solid grip and heavy base.

Subj: Entrepreneur

From: akup@loc.gov (Aaron Kuperman)

Is Entrepreneur available? I tried ordering it from Stardock last month
and apparently it was discontinued. I need it for personal academic use
(supporting a secondary school economics class), so it would probably be
"fair use" if I could copy it now that it is no longer a commercial
product (if there is anyone in Baltimore-Washington with a copy). Any
chance it will end up on Hobbes with other software that has been
discontinued.

Well, if Brad Wardell finishes it there will be FUD for OS/2 as a
successor to Entrepreneur which will be free for Entrepreneur owners.
You may also have a look at the web-pages of Indelible Blue, BMT Micro
(?) and Mensys. Maybe they still have some copies.
OR go to Warpstock! I bet there will be tons of cheap copies as at
Warpstock Europe.
