Greetings,

I downloaded Destination Mars! and KEGS for windows. Got KEGS up and
running at work, configured it to run Destination Mars and had it
running with no trouble. So I set up a folder in the IIGS hard drive
image and installed Destination Mars in there. Then made sure it would
run from the hard disk. Then zipped the hard disk image and e-mailed it
to myself, so after I get home I'll download it and see if it runs from
the hard disk image in Sweet 16 on my Mac Mini.

The only thing that would be more interesting to try would be to figure
how what files need to be on 5.25 disk images and then transfer the
disk images from my Mac Mini to my Apple IIe so I can play the game on
the real hardware instead of in an emulator.
