Here is a super-useful tidbit that KA6LAF gave me about running
CT/TR/etc under Win95 that I'm filing it away for future reference.

        Yes, actually there is a way to do it...in the root directory is a file
called MSDOS.SYS. In that file is a section called [Options], and under that
section is an entry as follows:

        BootGUI=1

        Change it to 0 and it should just boot into DOS mode...
