        I decided to release this version of my OS/2 port of the 
Flights of Fantasy flight simulator because of all of the bickering on the
net about DIVE application performance.  It is not a spectacular application,
but it has zero assembly in it, because I'de love to get my hands on OS/2 for
the PowerPC (and a PowerPC box) to check out the performance there.

        Because this program uses the OS/2 Warp DIVE interface, it will only work
on a Warp box.  I have tested on several types of video cards, and the only one I
have found that this doesn't seem to work on is a Compaq Q-Vision card.

        This version doesn't have any sound, or joystick support.  The keyboard
is your only control.  The controls are as follows:

                                F9      - Start Engine
                                PG-UP   - Throttle Up
                                PG-DOWN - Throttle Down
                                Arrows  - Direction control

        I am currently in the process of building the design for a more robust
version of this software.  I have asked on comp.os.os2.games for suggestions, and 
recieved about 30-40 replies.  I will gladly take any suggestions as to what
you would like me to include.  I am currently leaning toward a stable head-to-head
game with multiple aircraft types, and therefore am not into spectacular graphics, but
I could be swayed.
