With the patch, it works for me in "window" mode on 800x600 24 bit.  The text 
seems more jagged ("daggy"?) but I remember something about smooth fonts in 
Windows.  I haven't tried full screen.  My computer is a "boat anchor" - 6x86 
at 166 MHz with 64 MB RAM, and there is a corresponding speed penalty, but it 
works!
