Yes your assumption to that error $27 is correct.  I fiddled around with
this D3L a bit last night, and set the launcher to the created disk image
(Magic Window //e) and my only conclusion is that the the Magic Windows //e
i have on the physical 5.25 floppy is copy protected, or D3L cannot do
entire disk programs and can only do single file BRUN programs as you have
noted (kind of sucks).  Anyways thanks for all the help everyone!
