are there instructions like https://blog.archive.org/2015/05/08/making-your-dos-programs-live-again-at-the-internet-archive/ but for windows 3.1 programs |
|

|

I was trying to find the original DOS version of http://elitomlinson.com/index.php?title=Getaway_Laptop_Entertainment_6-Pack_(PC,_3_1/2%22_Disk)_Epyx_-_1991_USA,_Canada_Release |

I think basically it comes down to, you put your app in a .zip file, and you copy the metadata config from another working example |
|

|
bai |
which references windows.zip and mounts it as drive_d |
|
08:06
🔗
|
bai |
and your app gets mounted as drive_c |

this is a bundle of like six apps, should I just upload it six times with different metadata? I don't know how or if they can be separated out. |
|
08:07
🔗
|
Vito` |
and each item needs to be its own thing to run it anyway |
|
08:07
🔗
|
bai |
you can probably reference the same .zip for all of them but run a different exe, yeah |
|
08:08
🔗
|
bai |
but...yeah I dunno how that works exactly, since like you said it has to have at least one unique object |
