<br />Well gents the matter of Gettysburg oob will need deeper investigation what go's in must come out. However this block forced me to take some time and hunt down various things. I have now over 600 bitmap icons to use in the corinth alt games and also found a site and some software that lets me play the games without needing the original cd in the drive. This will save a lot of ware on the original disc.
Still searching.

There is another alternative for the CDROM and that is having an HPS/Battleground all-in-one CDROM. This way you can just leave that CD in the drive and play all your favorite games.
For the MASTER CDROM for both HPS and BG games:
Here's instructions on how to make a single cd that will allow you to play all your games from it.
The way I have done it follows. I have 30 games on one disk and it is only taking up 230 MB. Basically there's room for every Tiller title that will be coming out for years to come.
Create a Working directory on your hard drive.
Drag and drop all of your game folders into it.
Make sure each game folder is named EXACTLY the way it is shows on the cd (Caps, abbreviations, spacing, etc.)
Go into each folder and delete all .bmp .doc .hlp .wav files.
I have left the sub-directories in place, but I'm not convinced you need them. (YOU CAN LEAVE THE SUB-FOLDERS IF YOU WANT TO)
Then burn your cd. (DO NOT burn the temp working folder.)Make sure all the game folders are at the root of the CD, don't grab the working directory with them inside of it, as that won't work.
You can keep the working folder intact once you are done, that way when a new game comes out you just have to repeat the process for that one title and can then burn a new cdrom to use.
The above also works for ALL BG titles.
