Neal, your short tutorial made no mention of using some of the commands in dosbox to optimize the game while playing it.

Make sure to try "Ctrl + F8" to increase frameskip and "Ctrl + F7" to decrease it. The game is very playable with frameskip at "4" (it will say what your at in the dosbox window)

You can also try to increase the cpu allocation to dos box by pressing "Ctril + F12" or "Ctrl + F11" to reduce it.
