Ok.  The problem with the program is that all the references to df0:
are hardcoded within the code.  There are 2 files with references to
df0: (I don't know which ones offhand).  However, a good sector editor
	(one of 'em's 'hdesert')
like Filemaster or NewZap can be used to change all occurrences of df0:
to des: (or whatever else you want to use).  Then you can write a simple
shell script to run the program:

	assign des: dh0:Games/Desert
	cd des:
	hdesert
