os/2 galciv

You can probably buy it from [email protected]

or Brad could make a bundle if you subscribe to drengin.net... :notsure:

I don't see how the DGM could be used for this. The DGM works only on Windows. Admittedly it could be directed to a disk accessable by OS/2 but the DGM could not do the install steps. Can the DGM be told not to install a download?

Well, I bet gherardo just ment that Brad might be able to give a special price if ordering drengin and the old OS/2 galciv gold.

The 'install' process, as the DGM handles it now, seems to be just uncompressing files and creating a link in the start menu.

A compressed raw format disk writer and an OS/2 disc image would work prefectly. 'Playing' the game would write the image to disc, so it could installed on the OS/2 system.

Frederik won his bet.
Just a simple commercial bundling.

I really think the DGM will fail if run on OS/2. I think the registrations that result in the "links" in the "start" menu are different between OS/2 and Windows and I think this would be deliberate on MicroSoft's part. And the DGM would have to be prevented from building the links if GC/OS2 was downloaded using the DGM on Windows so that the links would not be built there.

We have GalCiv Gold CD's for people who really want a copy of the OS/2 version still. Email [email protected].

'I really think the DGM will fail if run on OS/2.'


It would. That's no doubt about that whatsoever. Which is why my specific method there.

'A compressed raw format disk writer and an OS/2 disc image would work prefectly. 'Playing' the game would write the image to disc, so it could installed on the OS/2 system.'

Downloading and 'installing' the game would consist of downloading an image of the GC/2 disc and a raw-mode disc writing program. When you 'play' the game, it writed the disc image onto a CD-R in whatever format(s) OS/2 reads (which I'd assume includes the ISO standard, but might not), resulting in a prefect duplicate of the original GC/2 disc to be installed on the OS/2 sssystem.

what the heck is DGM. i have a few computers that run OS/2 and i was just wondering if it was free to download or something.

OS/2 version isn't available any more I don't think.

"DGM" is the Drengin Game Manager. It comes with a subscription to Drengin.com or with a purchase of GC/Win.
