Has anyone figured out how to run the CD version on Windows XP? Specifically, what compatability modes and related settings would work?

With DOSBox.

how do you download APPENDIX C, the came wont start without the information on that part of the manual

[Singularity]

There's a SimEarth pack with online manual included in the ed2k network. Just search for "Singularity", and it should appear.

Here it is:

All in all this is a pretty fun sim, but I found it impossible to keep a stable ecosystem going.

Modeling evolving species, or just playing around with the species traits is still pretty fun for a while.

Okay, here's what I did and the subsequent problem.

Using DOSBox 0.71, I:

1. Renamed file to EARTH
2. Put EARTH in file ADrive on C:
3. mount A: C:\ADrive (making the file ADrive my A Drive)
4. A:
5. EARTH
6. INSTALL

This worked fine, opening up the install. However, I chose to install from A Drive to C Drive. When I tried it said "not enough space on destination disk". Unless this game is far larger than I expected, it will fit on my C Drive. Does anyone know why this won't work?
