But first how much does it weigh in MB?
Hi

The ZIP file of my Armada installation directory is about 7.1MB in size. Alternatively, I could use my Linux installation to "dd" disk images of the 6 1.44MB 3.5" installation disks, which would come to about the same size. I have also found elsewhere on the Internet a PDF copy of one of the Armada manuals which is about 900kB in size. I will probably have to add a small README file distilled from other game documentation that will be a few 10's of kB in size.

Since posting the original offer I have had more time to read the configuration files for DOSBox and have looked at its serial and IPX functionality. Although I have not tried it out yet as I don't have a second computer to run DOSBox on, it looks as if Armada's ground breaking (at the time) 2-player mode will work fine on DOSBox using either serial or IPX emulation. So it should be possible to enjoy some human vs human (or Cat vs Ape!) action

Regards

Simon Hales
