Preliminary ramble:
Hi, just disovered VOGONS, also just discovered VDMSound.
I got Betrayal at Krondor running on my Windows XP-home machine. Drunk with power, I then tried to load and run X-com: UFO defense (original 1994 floppies). This is where the trouble starts.
Main Question:
What kind of "good things" should be placed in the Autoexec.NT and Config.NT files?
(I'm thinking of various PATH:, BUFFERS: etc. command that I never understood that well even back in 1994 with my x486 win3.1 machine. )
The goal would be to define basic/generic x.NT files that would run most DOS games.
Secondary Question:
The VDMSound launchpad allows adding additional stuff to the equivalenlt files for VDMSound. Again, what would be good things to put in there?
3rd Question (why not?):
X-com is a peculiar game which is really several DOS programs that handoff back and forth to each other via a loop in a batch file. For games like this, I presume that the preferences of each and every program file have to be edited to make the thing run correctly. Am I right or way off base?
