- FWIW, SimLife, by Maxis, does not work under OS/2. This is disappointing
- as both SimAnt and SimCity do run jes' fine and SimLife looks like a winner.
-
- Attempting to run it generates a protection error.
-
- So, I tried it under DOS, courtesy of OZ's dual boot feature. No go. Seems
- the warning in the README file was valid. I have a Logitech cordless mouse,
- it hangs with this mouse ("the problem is NOT with your mouse" they say).
