Yes, re-write the game to run under Windows 95 with its improved memory
management. That way you can increase the table sizes without running into
the 4Mb limit imposed by DOS 4GW.

Sorry, that sounds a bit sarcastic. It wasn't really meant to be, but when
you think how big the playing area is and how much is going on, it's amazing
that the game has such a small footprint.

Err... I think you misunderstood Anthony there Thim. You can't rewrite the
game! He's not on about a patch or anything, that was a joke - reprogram the
game better, so it makes use of all the resources available under Win95,
because DOS4GW makes restrictions. If you feel you can write a Win95 version
of TT feel free to do so...

Yes, sorry. The point I was trying to make was that the as far as I am aware
limit on the number of vehicles was not a quirky design decision. It was due
to the limitations of the PC operating system in use when it was written.

I'd, therefore, be very surprised if it was possible to hack an increase in
the number of vehicles. It would need a re-write.
