Hi Gary,
Got my problem solved. I found a tip in Windows mag. that allows me
to bypass the bug in Win95 OSR2. All I have to do is make another
shortcut icon that starts a DOS program in DOS instead of Windows.
This allows me to use a separate config.sys & autoexec file for Duke.
Thanks for the help.
Mike.
