Windows games that won't work
-------------
KLOTZ211, KLOTZ209, TETRIS, BLACKBOX, CHECKERS, XWORD, BG (various), P2_1
these games won't work on Windows 95 "A newer version is required"

Poker Patience (PP.EXE, POKERPAT.ZIP) starts up but no cards are displayed and no menu.

TTT (Tic-Tac-Toc) works but is in French.

F18NFZ (F18 no fly zone) says "There is not enough memory" on WFW and
"A device attached to the system is not working" on Win95.
COMET (Comet Busters) has the same error.
SOLPLR (a card game) has the same error.

30/7/04 - Got a new version of F18NFZ and it works!

CONCENTR (Concentrator) a memory game, has a GPF on Win95.
New version works ok.

PACMANHATTAN has an issue with KERNEL32.DLL and won't run.

CLASSICS needed CNCS.DLL, which I obtained from the internet.
Now it says that there is not enough memory.

IF /E IS 8192 THEN SIZE=11104+'/B'

IF YOU USE /B 57345 TO 65535 THEN THE SYSTEM WILL CRASH

RECOMMENDED SETTINGS ARE:

SMARTDRV nnn /E:8192 /B:8192
where nnn depends on the amount of extended memory available
