I'd be happy to see whatever you have. Post it here or send
it to me by email.
I'd also like to point out that despite the implication in
this thread between you and Chris that I have never
actually cross-posted one of Helmar's "tirades" to this
echo. I have cross posted some of his informative postings
to comp.os.geos, but I have purposely left out his incendiary
musings.
It is not my intention to fan flames. I know that you and
Chris already understand this. I mention it again for the benefit
of lurkers and anyone else who might have stumbled into
this thread.
Thanks again for your friendly comments,

Nathan Fieldler has posted to comp.os.geos an article
detailing what you need to do to run Ensemble with
Windows 95.
CROSS POSTED FROM COMP.OS.GEOS

Many of our customers are running Ensemble 2.0 from Windows 95.
The most common problem is a KR-29 "No valid font files in
Userdata\Font" message. This happens because Windows 95 provides a new
version of DOS, MS DOS 7, and GEOS cannot find an appropriate file
system driver for this new version of DOS. Fortunately, Microsoft also
provides SETVER to fix this problem.
Ensemble may be installed from Windows 95, just launch an MS-DOS window
and install normally. If GEOS cannot find your mouse driver, try the
one  named for your mouse and try the "No Idea" choice near the top of
the  list. If you still can't find an appropriate mouse driver, choose
"None"  or "Arrow Key Mouse" and you can install the mouse driver later
in  Preferences.
If you're installing on a Pentium or other fast computer and experience
a KR-01 error, see the article about that in this database.
ADD LOADER TO THE VERSION TABLE
Before running Ensemble from Windows 95, you need to add LOADER to the
version table. In your MS-DOS window, enter the following two commands:
  CD \WINDOWS
  SETVER C:\WINDOWS LOADER.EXE 6.3
(or you can use LOADER.EXE 5.0 or LOADER.EXE 6.0, any version prior to
7.0 should work). If your Windows 95 is installed on a different drive
or in a different directory, modify the commands as appropriate for
your  drive and path name, of course. Do not include any path for
LOADER,  however.
Now shut down and restart your computer to make the changes to the
version table take effect.
CONFIGURE WINDOWS 95 TO RUN ENSEMBLE
Back in Windows 95, click the right mouse button and choose Explore. In
Explorer, locate the \GEOS20 directory and click the right mouse button
on the GEOS20.PIF file. The file will appear as an MS-DOS icon. Choose
Properties and make sure that the file is a "Shortcut to MS-DOS
Program"  and the file name is GEOS20.PIF.
In Properties, click the Program tab and check that the path and
working  directory are correct. If you make any changes, click Apply.
Click the  Advanced button. Look at the settings for the two items
below.   [ ] Prevent MS-DOS based programs from detecting Windows.
  [ ] Suggest MS-DOS mode as necessary.
Some folks recommend toggling them both ON. Your mileage may vary. When
you're running Ensemble, if you find that Windows interrupts you to
recommend DOS mode, answer NO. Then return to this setting and try
changing "Suggest MS-DOS mode as necessary" to OFF.
Click the Memory tab. All the items should be set to Auto. At least one
user recommends that Conventional Memory/Protected be toggled OFF and
Extended (XMS) Memory/Uses HMA be toggled ON.
Click the Screen tab. Set Usage to Full-screen, initial size: Default.
Leave the Window and Performance buttons toggled ON. Click Apply, then
click OK.
Now you can double click on the GEOS20.PIF file to run Ensemble 2.0.
MAKE AN ICON OR LAUNCHER FOR ENSEMBLE
Here are three different ways to create an icon or button for Ensemble
on your Windows 95 desktop.
1. Click the right mouse button on the GEOS20.PIF file and choose
Create  Shortcut. Drag the "Shortcut to GEOS20" to your desktop.
2. Using the left mouse button, drag the GEOS20.PIF file to the Start
button.
3. Add GEOS20.PIF to your Start/Programs menu.
IF YOUR MOUSE IS NOT WORKING
If your mouse is not working in Ensemble, use keyboard navigation to
run  Preferences. Choose the Mouse module and select the Change button.
Try  the "No Idea" driver. If that doesn't work, try the "Generic"
mouse  driver or the driver named for your mouse.
If you're loading a MOUSE.COM or MOUSE.SYS driver in your DOS startup
files, you may need to stop doing so and use Windows 95's built in
mouse  support.
PRINTING
If you are having trouble printing from Ensemble when running from
Windows 95, there are two different places you may need to change your
configuration. One is in Windows 95 itself, and the other is in
Ensemble's Preferences. The necessary settings vary from one computer
to  another.
Run Preferences in Ensemble. Click on the Computer button. Your printer
is most likely on LPT 1. There are four choices for the LPT port: DOS,
BIOS, 5, and 7. Most customers have success using the 7 setting. If
that  doesn't work, try the BIOS setting or try the DOS setting.
In Windows 95, choose Printers in the Control Panel. Click the right
mouse button on your default printer and choose Properties. In
Properties, click on the Details tab. Click Port Settings and Spool
MS-DOS print jobs. Click Spool Settings. You'll see the following
choices. If printing isn't working with one choice, try the other one.
