Just : like : the : Mac (of olde)

As for why not use a RAMdisk...I am trying to make life easier by 
running it from a permanent location on my HD.  Creating a RAM disk and 
copying the files into that is not easier than simply running it from 
the floppy.  Thexder is a pretty quick loading game anyway.

Easier is what I'm after, you see.
