Liero is apparently worms in realtime. However, despite being written in 1999, it has no win95 support and winXP fails miserably. As near as I can tell, the entire Liero community collapsed a couple of months ago when the lieronet forums went down for too long. They now have -1 members, no boards, and no topics.

I did see something about winXP on the site, but nothing about how to get it working. If the forum was still up, I could ask, but as it is, theres nothing of much use. usenet has some stuff about it, but if anyone has posted anythign helpful its in russian or finnish. Neither of which I can make heads nor tails of.

No hope of a new version either - the author apparently lost the source code, so to make a winXP compatable version he would have to start again from scratch. I havent tracked down his homepage, but I would not expect to see anything helpful in the near future. It may be worth trying a dos emulator, but all the ones I know of are still working on completeing the 80387/80387 featureset and can barely handle protected mode.
