[ODE] Re: A simple question!

[David Whittaker]

Is that windows16=0 or 1?  if it's 1, that's your problem right there. 
windows16=1 only applies to windows 3.1.  Windows has been 32 bit since
95.

If not, I have that exact same environment in another boot, and I'll zip
up an ode build for you.  I really don't know what else could be going
wrong other than make sure you can see the tiny pyramids on the ground so
you know you're looking at the origin.
