- The -oldtimer option helped speed things up some. The -nosound option
- didn't help though. And I am running UniVBE 5.1a. However, things
- still weren't up to DOS speed so I think I'll stick with the hassle of
- exiting windows to go to DOS mode for now. Hopefully V3.00 (or maybe
- V2.1) will be fully Win95 compatable.
