Hi Bob,
I'm assuming you're talking about installing to a hard drive? If so,
Sierra games like the ones you mention should install OK (although
I only have experience with other ones). Essentially, copy the whole
first disk over to the hard drive by drag and drop. Then for each
subsequent disk, take the VOL.x (where x is the disk number) from the
DATA folder of the floppy and put it into the existing DATA folder on the
hard drive. So the DATA directory of the game on the hard drive should
contain, say (among other things)
VOL.0
VOL.1
VOl.2
for a 2-floppy game. Someone jump in if my memory isn't serving well,
but I'm pretty certain this will give you a working Sierra installation.
Good luck
Ben
