I'm also happy to share if anyone wants anything. I am interested to know if there is a patch or fix for any of the following issues: 1. Disk Space is reported as Zero when installing some Games or Applications (Example: Civilization 2 which still goes ahead and installs, Lotus Smartsuite 4.0 which refuses to install). I'm not sure there isn't a patch out there already. It seems like it would be a fairly trivial matter to patch the Win 3.1 API to report a valid Disk Space value at all times? 2. Can a 800x600 SVGA Display Driver be installed for games that require it (Example: Broderbund's Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego won't allow installation). There is also something called a DCI Driver, which is preferred when playing MovieCD's or in later versions of Quicktime (?). 3. The GENAUD-v3.1r02 Audio Patch for Win 3.1 *sort of* works, however on my Lenovo T42 Laptop it misses the first few seconds of the sound (Example: The Oregon Trail 2 - when a person is talking the first sentence or so is cut off). I seem to recall ECS worked significantly better, but that was using an older UNIAUD Driver. I'm not sure if anyone knows how to contact the original Author of GENAUD or if there is any Source Code about for it? 4. Is there any VirtualCD Program for ArcaOS which would allow mounting an ISO File and using it from the Win 3.1 Shell ?
