- Well, as an experiment I tried running Executor under MS-DOS Mode and I
- was suprised because it ran almost twice as fast!!! The video was a lot
- faster and the CPU jumped from a 6 to a 12 on my 486DX2-66. Well, I
- guess from now on I'll run directly under Dos instead of Win95. I'm
- really suprised at how much of a drain Win95 is on my system.
