Unfortunately I'm surrounded by Linux machines
right now and nothing
with a hard disk onto which I can install DOS - and I don't think I
can
boot DOS 6.22 from floppies and tell expand to
decompress a file into
memory, let me change floppies to the one I want the expanded version
on, and then write it out... :-)
I know you've got it sorted now, but if it ever happens again, remember
that on a single-floppy machine, DOS will prompt you to change the disk
in the floppy drive if you refer to it as B: instead of A: (and then
prompt you to change back when appropriate).
