This is what is confusing me. I am using the VDMSound GUI. I also have all the DOS memory options checked off as per the FAQ on the VDMSound website. OK, first strat with the default VDMSound settings (i.e. delete any VDMSound shortcuts, do "Run with VDMS" with the LaunchPad so thet you get the …

Well, grep could do the trick. Look for Win32 ports of various unix tools, I've got one such port installed on my Win2k system. 😁 V.

http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?name=Last+Chance+to+See I agree, Douglas Adams was the man. I've got every one of his books except the last one he was writing before he died (he didn't finish it, don't fucking release it, greedy bastards!) including the (ugh) nonfictional Last Chance to See . …

New and improved PITSET is in the works. For now, "Another World" + "Star Control 2" + "Ween the Prophecy" all work at adjustable speeds, complete with sound via the EmuPPDAC module (using the unreleased new version of PITSET).
