How to install Deluxe Paint (orig) on a HD?

[blakespot]

I have tried different approaches -- different ASSIGNs, etc. Nothing works. I have the original Deluxe Paint floppy and can't get it to run, loaded onto floppy.

I see there is a small dpaint file in the root dir, then a dpaint.data in the c/ directory. Tried assigning the target HD dir to DeluxePaint: etc. -- nothing.

Ideas?

This is DPaint 1. It runs fine off floppy under KS 1.3.

No errors. When I run it, disk accesses an instant then nothing. I run from CLI. There is no icon (.info).

I can run all kinds of things off this partition. Have had no general issues like that. It seems unlikely that something about the DPaint executables would require a different partition configuration wrt: MaxTransferRate, right?
