Yes.

It isn't called Windoze for nothing :-/ I'm stuck with Win95, though
(where
it works).

I'm not sure of the system requirements of any of the Starfire programs,
unfortunately (I'm more into the tactical part of the game). I'll push
for
a text file with program descriptions and system requirements on the ftp
site - I need it, anyway :-/

As for a DOS version - no idea. Probably not before we're through with
the
updating (...total re-working...) of ISF, since SA follows those rules
(which is why it is being updated so often). It all depends on the
programmer (Steve Walmsley, email:swalmsley@drizzt.demon.co.uk) and how
much spare time he's got, I s'pose. The program also needs a manual :-/
