GETTING PRIVATEER TO RUN W/O A BOOT DISK IN WIN 95/98 (THIS FILE WAS NOT CREATED BY ME. I HAVE LOST THE URL OF THE SITE THAT CREATED IT.) 1. Copy the file priv.tre (or rf.tre) from your Privateer CD to your Privateer directory on your hard drive. 2. Edit your priv.cfg (or rf.cfg) to point to the directory on your hard drive where Privateer is installed. 3. Reboot computer. 4. Every time you want to play Privateer Shutdown -> Reboot in MS-DOS mode and run Privateer normally. 5. If you create a shortcut, set the Advanced options as Use current DOS configuration and Warn before entering DOS. *** The only negatives I have noticed in this method is that, for my computer, you only have enough memory to run one of the sound selections (music or voices) and also that the copying of priv.tre and rf.tre requires around 150 MB. If you are an addicted Privateer junkie like me, it's worth it though.
