Try DRIVE 0,"http://www.indigobanquet.adsl24.co.uk/coco/deathchase/dchs.dsk"

Note that you can run it with RUN"D now. ;)

Well, a number of tools are used...

A09 - assembler. (I like the macros, although the local branches are just 
numbers).
ProMotion - palette-friendly art package.
Dragon Convert - Dragon CAS to WAV util (works for CoCo too).
MESS & Imgtool for testing & making DSK files.
XRoar - additional Dragon testing.
And some of my own tools for converting graphics and making CAS files, 
mostly compiled using OpenWatcom or Visual C.  e.g. "ADDCAS" and "TILE".
And the IDE...  Visual Studio 2003.  (Well, it's retro, right?)
