assistant: Michael,
       First of all, you have to have the registered version 1.3d. If
     you do, just type "DUKE3D MAP XXXXX.MAP", where "XXXXX" is the
     name of the level you are trying to run, at the command line and
     hit enter. Save the game once it starts and then you can just
     launch it from the menu next time without typing all the extra
     stuff. Of course, you also must have the level in your DUKE
     directory!

 It's the 8 megs of RAM that's getting you. Duke will run fine with your

 that's so important, it's your amount of RAM. 8 Megs is a _minimum_ amount.

 Oh well.  At least id finally figured out that OS/2 users actually
 do buy games.  Maybe for 3DRealms/Apogee's future releases they
 will buy a clue from id and rewrite the sound engine (or have it

option for selecting user levels. Just do that and pick a .map from
