Hi.

I'm in trouble installing Zeppelin - Giants of the Sky.
Well, I mounted some dir in my $home as C: and already installed several other games.
But the Zeppelin Installtion just doesn't do anything when chosing C:. I have the choice between C: and Z:, but Z: of course is full.

I already tried mounting a different dir on C: or D: but the result is the same.

Bye.
Thorsten

maybe you can run the install in the OS you are using and use dosbox only to actually run the game? worth a shot.

No, it's not that easy. The install is a .exe and the game is packaged in an unknown format. Here's the content of the first disk:

-rwxr--r-- 1 torti users 134874 1993-11-26 21:45 title.bld
-rwxr--r-- 1 torti users 1201641 1994-01-19 12:00 zeppo.ik1
-rwxr--r-- 1 torti users 768 1993-12-06 12:54 zeppo.pal

and the file zeppo.ik1 starts with the letters

ÏHi

(then the binary starts)
