Short:    HD installer for Lotus 2 (original)
Author:   andrew@ab2000.prestel.co.uk (Andrew Bell)
Uploader: andrew@ab2000.prestel.co.uk (Andrew Bell)
Type:     game/patch
Requires: WHDLoad & Original Lotus 2 disk.

This is an installer for Lotus 2 (original version) that I created last year
using WHDLoad. The main reason I created it, was to see how hard it would be
for me to program it and I also think Lotus 2 is a great game. It's still
unfinished. That is, it has not been tested on an 040 nor an 060, but I
have included the assembly source for anybody who wants to do futher work on
it (just give me a little credit). As I don't have the time now, I find that
writing HD installs requires a lot of time and patience :)

If you can get it to work on you system, please let me know.

Instructions:

The image should be created with grem2file by JF Fabre (trks 2-157). You
can get this from the JST package on the Aminet. Save the image as "Disk.1",
you must also place the "LOTUS2LDR.BIN" file (provided) in the same
directory.

When starting WHDLoad with the slave, I recommend that you use the PRELOAD
option, because MANY small reads are required.

The manual protection can be skipped by pressing the fire button.

Enjoy...
