They cannot run in Win95 because they both use their own memory manager (Jemm I think?) that is completely incompatable with anything Windows. That was before the good ole days of DOS4GW.

WC3, not the KS version, also uses JEMM, doesn`t it? So how come it works under Win9x?

WC3 does not use JEMM.

So what is that Jemm.ovl file that appears on each of the 4 CDs in the game? It appears in both Privateer and Armada.
If you load up WC3, you will see that it says DOS4GW as it starts to load up. It uses that memory manager. The Jemm files might be there as part of some legacy code since Armada is a early build of the WC3 engine I believe (Am I right on this? I know Strike Commander is the original build of the engine). But regardless DOS4GW is the memory manager used by WC3 and all it does is more or less treats all memory the same whether it is extended or expanded.

Hmm... I suppose you`re right, but I noticed WC4 also has a Jemm.ovl file. Strange.
I wouldn`t call it a screw up, the file is, what? 20kb in size?

I never said it was a screw-up, I said it might be a left over piece of legecy code. Remember Strike Commander is the original build for the WC3/4 engine and maybe something Jemm related had to be modified to allow the game to run DOS4GW.
