I need help saving my character after completing QG1(remake).

I think it's usually "insert floppy disk into drive and press enter," but that's the issue: I don't have a floppy disc drive in my computer. Is there a way to save my character to a writeable CD?

I've played all QFG games many times, so if there's no solution it isn't a big loss, but I've never bothered to save a character and import it before, and I'd really like to play a paladin without downloading someone else's character.

Been a while, but I'm pretty sure you can just type in the directory where you want to save the character. I'll have to check it later, though. But shouldn't be any harder than that.

Now we get to the root of the problem...what's a directory?

A directory is an organizational unit, or container, used to organize folders and files into a hierarchical structure. Directories contain information that is, figuratively speaking, beneath them in hierarchy. A good way to think about directories is to think of a file cabinet housing folders that contain files.

The topmost directory in any file is called the "root directory." A directory that is below another directory is called a "subdirectory." A directory above a subdirectory is called the "parent directory." Under DOS and Windows, the root directory is a back slash (\).

The files and directories at any level are contained in the directory above them. To access a file, you may need to specify the names of all the directories above it. You do this by specifying a "path."

Most GUI (graphical user interfaces) today use the term "folders" instead of "directories." The word "directory" was used mainly in DOS, and can be attributed as something of a legacy term, although it is still used when speaking of the "command prompt" in Windows.

lol.gif isn't it?

Thanks for the help, guys. Just so you know, what I did was I created an A drive in DOSBox, then saved my character in there and imported him into the next game. (Naturally, a more computer-savvy friend helped wink.gif )
