Wow.. another TTDLX player!!!

I went back to the game just 2 days ago and already I'm using less net time.
As for Windows 2000, I was unaware of "Command Interface" but I assume it is
just a vamped up DOS. Windows 2000 IS a newer version of NT, so it isn't
designed for any great ol' DOS games such as "Captain Comic", "Transport
Tycoon" or "Transport Tycoon Deluxe". Apparently it also fails to run games
such as Quake [which is actually a derivitive of Wolfenstein 3D] and I think
some versions of DOOM.

Bon Apetit!

As far as I know, MVA should work on Windows 2000. Unsure, but most likely.
It is a VB6 application
