I've managed to get SimCity 2000 Special Edition working without the CD in Windows for Workgroups 3.11 using the SUBST command to make the game think the videos are on a CD. SimCity 2000 Special Edition has some sort of quirk that the \DATA directory needs to be in the root directory, or it won't work so using SUBST seems to fix the problem by pointing a new drive letter to the SimCity 2000 directory. The alternative is to put the \DATA directory in the root of C: but I'd prefer not to.
However, SUBST being a DOS command and using the old DOS ways doesn't play well with the 32bit File Access mode of Windows for Workgroups 3.11.
I only need it for this one game and it only needs to work within Windows for Workgroups (don't need it for DOS). Does a different virtual drive mapping solution exist for Windows 3.X so that I can have my \DATA directory in the root of another drive letter and have 32bit File Access working?
