Nope, still not working. First of all, should I put the .ISO in the PYl folder, or mount the ISO as a disc in a drive, or (mount the ISO as a disc in a driver and) install Pyl via it's own installer to the Pyl directory using MagicDisc or similar?
I've currently done all three, , but the game won't run.
Running qemu.bat (with the ISO mounted as R:) writes the following text to the screen (recorded here by qemu.bat > t2.txt)

D:\Pyl>pause
Press any key to continue . . .
(The pause, of course, was added by me to the batch file). I don't think the failure of the game to run is down to the .ISO or it's contents, because I've tried to cover all three ways of using it, but maybe something due to:
D:\Pyl>s.exe boot.vdi -cdrom r: -soundhw sb16,adlib -accel whpx
s.exe: -accel whpx: Could not load library WinHvPlatform.dll.
