Uh, here I'm replying to myself because on Saturday afternoon  My Extra Cool (well, 
nostalgically beloved) DOS Game Stopped Running Under Windows 95.

The trouble is that my sister sent me a better video card and I installed it in the 
afternoon.  It was the 1995 release and its driver had bugs.  It's a Creative Labs 
Blaster Banshee.  The original writer didn't specify what he meant by "doesn't run" 
and I jumped to conclusions.  

I am correcting my problem by getting Creative Labs 1999 update for the driver.  
Probably other people complained that it often made the DOS screen go black on black.
