Ran into a problem when I imaged and tried to install these 2 games.

It seems the packaged installer for Future Magic uses wildcard patterns that DOSBox doesn't suport. One work around is to install with a DOS 6.22 (or equivelent) boot, then copy the files over. But I found it easier (for future installs,) just to re-write (didn't take much work,) the 2 guilty bath files. They accomplish the same thing, but now are a little more streamlined, and don't use the illegal wildcard patterns 😀 Just unpack and insert them into the Disk-1 image.

Hard Nova installes just fine, but the startup batch file, again, uses illegal wildcards. Didn't do much streamlining this time, but I did remove the illegal wildcards. Just replace the batch file in your install directory after you've installed the game.
