Excerpts from my previous email, web address still valid:

> OK, here's how it can be done:  I put together a version of freedos
> for anyone who needs it.  http://www2.pro-ns.net/~steve/fdvfx.zip.
> It makes a floppy-bootable version of freedos that starts up with a
> ramdisk.  After extracting the archive, make a floppy with it
> (install.bat does this for you), then copy EDE.EXE and whatever vfx
> disk image you want to use on the floppy.  Boot from the floppy, pause
> and reflect how slow floppies feel in the modern day, and when you get
> the Z:\> prompt, run ede.  (I pretty much successfully tested this
> process myself).

> Anybody providing disk images is welcome to make a copy of this for
> their own distribution.  Heck, anybody NOT providing disk images is
> welcome as well...
> 
> And, by the way, I don't use DOS or Freedos or anything like that on a
> regular basis.  I don't prefer or recommend freedos over any other
> options, except that I could create this and distribute it to the rest
> of you without any license problems.
