Thanks a bunch, y'all.
So I actually installed FreeDOS on my actual hard-drive (C:), so when I run
the game, it is being registered by both my ordinary Windows C: drive and
by FreeDOS as D:
And yet all I get is "bad command" or whatever when I try to do "INSTALL"
on D: drive in FreeDOS (see included screenshot).
Any other thoughts?
Thanks again, y'all.
