Here's an outline of the steps.
1. Create the IRAM. Execute FREEPORT(1), or whichever port your 32k RAM module is plugged into.

2. Copy ROMCOPY from PILIMAGE.DAT. Execute COPY ROMCOPY:TAPE, assuming PILIMAGE.DAT is mounted on the first mass storage device.

3. Mount PIRATE.lif in pyILPER.

4. ROMCOPY the IRAM image on the LIF disc image to the IRAM. Execute ROMCOPY PIRATE:TAPE TO :PORT(1).

You should now be able to RUN PIRATE.

Thanks very much, Dave! I was able to follow your instructions, and now I have that Pirate Adventure Game installed and running.

Thanks for all your hints and advice. Greatly appreciated!
