You can. simcoupe -fd1 image.dsk inserts image.dsk in floppy drive 1.
Use -fd2 for floppy drive 2. This should work

No no no, the filename extension should be meaningful to the user (as well
as to the computer, if the computer takes any notice of it anyway).
Yep. That's the standard way of

3. start from non-SimCoupe directory
4. faster disk emulation (DOS is poor, Win32 is faster)

urm you can - At least in Windows 98.
A new user downloads a copy of SimCoupe. If he's not impressed, he'll
throw
away SimCoupe after about half an hour and we'll never see him again? So
what programs do you show him? What are the essential programs that
anyone with a passing interest must see once?
Another scenario:

Bye all
I don't think the long filename should be a problem - how many people
still use DOS outside of Windows95/98/NT any more?
How many people still use the old machine known as a SAM Coupe?
And just as soon as somebody compiles SimCoupe for the Sam Coupe, that
question might become relevant.
