You Can Play Windowed Mode!!
yep thats right...here is how:

play one game, this will generate the .ini file described in the readme.txt

here is an example:
if your desktop is say 1280x960, you can play the game in a 1152x768 window for instance. to do this add the following two lines to the .ini file:

KeepRes=1
Video Mode=1152

...thats it. it plays civ3 in a 1152x768 window while maintaining a 1600x768 desktop.

actually there is a multiplayer text file of some sort ... jackel.txt
dont know what it does, but it looks like it is a little MP that they hacked together from SAMC or something for play testing among themselves...maybe someone knows more? i didnt look at the whole file, i just saw some logon/logon and server setting lines.
