Bzzzzt!  Thanks for playing.

How to do it:


Make a directory on the HD for it. call it, say dh0:foo/fun/f18
cd dh0:foo/fun/f18
copy df0: "" all
newzap f18-Interceptor  ( an editor for binaries )
change all occurrences of df0: to f18:
quit
assign f18: dh0:foo/fun/f18   ( put this in startup-sequence, too)
type f18-Interceptor and away you go (you will have to reboot when done)

NOTE: f18-Interceptor is the main executable on the f18 disk. This is from
memory, so no flames if the name is a bit different, like f18_interceptor.
