Change all occurrences of DH0: to Bch: (or equivalent). I used the recently posted ZAP program by Timo Rossi (comp.binaries.amiga). 2) Assign Bch: to where you want the game, and create the directory: assign bch: dh0:games/battlechess (for example) 3) Run CopyToDH0. It will copy all necessary files to that directory. That's it! Apparently you don't need to change occurrences of DF0: in the main BattleChess program (there aren't any, actually). In fact, you only need the assignment when you copy the game to disk - ie. you don't need the Bch: assignment when you run the game.
