I know the feeling.* After much experimentation, I have discovered that I have precisely the wrong hardware to play this game.* It is too slow to emulate a 486 with dosbox, and Win98SE has a file handling problem that usually corrupts the game file (dreaded green text bug).

what do you mean??? if you have win 98 SE you dont' need dosbox to play it. you simply make dos boot disk, boot your computer with it and start the game. it works perfectly.

Evidently, I forgot to mention that the first peripheral ruined by small children, after the mouse, is the floppy drive. All of my computer mice are neutered. This would not be so bad if they were optical mice at the outset. I can think of few things more useless than non-optical mice with no balls.
For those rare occassions when I must load a floppy, I have a floppy drive hidden away where small children cannot jam things into it. Slotting it into a PC requires a fair amount of work, so I cannot be bothered for anything less than restoring the files on a hard drive with no bootable partitions, or running the utilities for a brand new hard drive.
