This version comes as a 2.9 mb zip file. It unzips to a directory
on drive C: BL3 boots from DOS and runs in a loop file.

Minimum requirements Intel 386 or compatible 3 mb RAM DOS (or
Windows 95/98 in DOS mode)

/quote

I can create a DOS filesystem with mkdosfs, but it wouldn't be
bootable (says the manpage), and I don't know if that would nip
things in the bud.

But I'm not running DOS or win 95/98, or dosemu, and I'm pretty
sure _that_ would nip things in the bud.

If I'm wrong, someone let me know, and I'll try it.
