- You're correct, sound under DOS sounds rough. We are working on
- switching to a new, slimmed down SoundBlaster package that should
- sound much better (about the same as Executor/Linux's sound) and not
- cause floppy problems. Hopefully that will be ready in about a week
- (fingers crossed :-).

- I haven't seen that problem, although I have noticed a somewhat
- different problem with Lemmings screen fades. Are you running UniVBE?
- Executor now uses VBE 2.0 mechanisms to set the palette if they are
- present (we get more accurate colors that way). I think the Lemmings
- screen fade problem predates that, though. I'll add it to my list of
- bugs to investigate.

- Thanks!
