Given all this discussion about copy protection, I thought I would
share my experiences trying to install Dark Castle on a hard disk
drive.

The documentation says that to install DC on a hard disk, simply make
a directory, copy the contents of both disks to that directory,
assign DC1: and DC2: to point to the directory, and have the original
disk A in df0: when starting the game.  The problem is that once the
game finds disk A in the floppy drive, it wants to load itself from
the floppy instead of the hard disk, and won't let you remove the
floppy.

Sigh.

Has anyone gotten Dark Castle to work on a hard disk, or better yet
found a way to defeat its copy protection?  Failing that, would
anyoune like to purchase a copy of Dark Castle?

The people arguing for copy protection can simply go to hell.  I paid
$25 for this program and I have the right to use it in any manner I
please.
