I don't have a hard disk. All I have is an A500 with one floppy disk. But I do have Shangai which I bought 4 months ago. I tried copying all files except " ...", including fonts and all onto a bootable disk labeled Shangai. But it wouldnt work. I got a requester asking for file Shangai:winter/title.something, although I had copied that file as well. Only way to make it work was to insert the Original Shangai. Yv

Re: Yves Goulnik's problem with copying Shanghai ...
Though I now have my copy of Shanghai on HD, I bought it the day it came out
and discovered rather quickly it COULD be copied to a floppy and operate from
that floppy. Following are the contents of my GAMES:Shanghai directory, along
with a display of the steps necessary to copy YOUR legitimately-purchased copy.
The "do-copy" script can be extracted verbatim from this posting and used; I
manually created the two sub-directories (``games'' and ``winter'').

Re: my posting yesterday re: how to copy Shanghai to HD ... Neglected to show the moving of Shanghai's fonts to the proper FONTS: area; I'm in the habit of collecting all the fonts from my purchases and placing them in my FONTS: automatically (some 500+ there already; just GUESS what THAT does to DPaint! :-) Thad Floryan [thad@cup.portal.com (OR) ..!sun!portal!cup.portal.com!thad]

Can someone Tell me where to get it? Like ftp sites, or a fish disk, or something? I am developing code for a C class, and turning in the results to the professor would be so easy with this.

Re: the HARDCOPY program used in a recent posting of mine ... HARDCOPY, its sources, docs and executables, are available on "Fish Disk" #75. HARDCOPY.ARC is also available on my BBS, BBS-JC, 415/961-7250 (300/1200/2400) The program was authored by David Cervone of the Univ. of Rochester, and was originally posted to comp.sys.amiga on May 11, 1987.
