Default Floppys???? really??!?

seriously guys, wtf...

questions

1. how many floppys are there?
2. do i have to mount a separate drive in dosbox for each disk and create a directory of each disk that I map as a drive, as a CD game would require?
3. If answer to #2 is yes, why do we have to do this, in this day and age? Travesty!

Because some peeps still have a real dos PCs around....?
Because some peeps know how to mount floppies in dosbox?
Because some peeps know how to mount floppies in VPC/VM/VB/whatever ... ?

My dear johnnypeebles, you're not alone in this world, and your *ahem* knowledge (or completely lack of knowledge) still isn't the standard, luckily.

In other words: it's not because you are not interested, that others don't appreciate getting the flop images.

The floppy images are separate from the main game download. Unless you have a specific reason for using them, you're better off using the main archive.
