- Recently I have been playing a little with John MacLean's great little
- program "DOS 3.3 Launcher". Unfortunatly, all of the stuff I am trying
- to convert to it does NOT seem to be DOS 3.3.
-
- Most of this stuff is old games that would be great fun if I could just
- luanch them from GS/OS and play them for a bit, then quit back to GS/OS
- without re-booting. Things like Arcticfox, Alternate Reality, Seven Cities
- of Gold, Airheart, Lode Runner, and others...
-
- Many of these seem to be ALMOST a correct DOS 3.3, but have some sort
- of difference that makes them unreadable as DOS 3.3. Copy II+ can make
- copies of the disks themselves (sometimes even remove the protection)
- but they still seem to be wierd variants to normal DOS 3.3.
-
- Does anybody have a method for turning these into normal DOS 3.3 images?
