Can't help much on the direct draw, but there are different versions for
different 32 bit Windows. As for Apple PC, It's a true DOS program and makes
low-level calls which the emulated DOS in NT doesn't like. I don't think you
can get around this. As far as NT compatable emulators, Apple Oasis is supposed
to run on it according to the author.
