i see that it works very well and mount all disk with ADF.
so what is the reason to zip file like in Gamebase Amiga or any other gamebase that work on image disk?
There is no reason to ZIP image disks if you do not want to.
However GameBase has to be told the image is a game file, or you will not be able to link and run it.
Also when the image is zipped, the image will be unzipped to the GBGAME dir, and you can choose whether or not to save any changes made or keep the original image intact.
Stopping any possible corruption to the image.

and i don't understand why if i load from workbench 1.3 HD it not mount all floppy disk, but only the last disk...
example:
DCTV is a program that has 4 disks. If load HD it mount the 4th disk instead af all 4 disks.
When loading with HD "DIR" it will only mount 1 disk.
This option is made for running pre-installed apps on the HD.
If you want to
install Apps on 4 disks you must attach the disks to the correct drives manually. (just like you do when installing on a real machine.)
All disks should be easy to find in the GBGAME dir.
If you boot with all 4 disks attached and HD "DIR"
The 1st disk in DF0: will boot.
and the HD will not boot Workbench.
Just like on a PC.
if you have a system disk or XP install CD in the drive, it will boot it ready for installing XP or DOS prompt.
And will not boot your already installed system OS.
You must let the HD boot to workbench, then insert the disks.
some Apps will always ask for correct install disk to be in DF0:.
Even if you have config for 4 external drives and the app comes on 4 disks.
This programs require to install some libraries and font in the system to work and workbench 1.3 floppy hasn't enough space..
The Floppy WB should not need to have files added to it.
The image is made for running from RAM or installing.
If the app needs a lib or font file you can just add it to the pre-installed HD image.
If the APP will only run from a floppy.
You can create your own custom bootable floppy workbench version.
deleting anything that is not needed from the floppy.
Just keep the important stuff in the C folder...
