There are a series of patches available for Civilization that allow
it to run under OS/2 very well. The patches also change/add some
features to the game.

The latest I know of is CIV04.ZIP (I think) and is probably
available on ftp.ulowell.edu in the Games/Patches directory
somewhere. Try searching on archie for a name similar to CIV04.
