Ok, this is probably a total newbie question, but I grew up with Mac and never really have been exposed to PC's, much less Pre-Windows PC's.

When I try to run Arena (the downloadable version from the Bethsheda site) it says that it needs Win32 to run the program? What is Win32 and how do I get it? I thought all this needed was DOS 5.0 to run according to their site. Any help would be great. Thanks all!

I haven't downloaded Arena from their site but it's likely that they are using a Windows installer to install the program which of course requires Windows.

If they do not offer an alternate download in .ZIP format then you'll either have to find an extraction program to extract the files from the installer (In Windows I use Uniextract) or you'll have to boot your PC into Windows and extract the files, or you can boot up Virtual PC/Qemu/Parallels and install the game in there and then copy it to your host.

When I run StuffIt on it, a lot of files are extracted and look like a build of a game with an exe. I am going to try that tonight when I get home and I will let you know. Thanks so much!
