enough. One of my favorite tricks is to use ARK (K. Heidenstrom), which
is a .COM archiver and execution stub, to stick all the .COM files I
need into a single .EXE, then compress the .EXE with pklite or lzexe or
similar.
format.com,
fdisk.com, and
sys.com all go in there, as do a
4KB editor and other utils.
Many of the files can be easily compressed without archiving using LZEXE or
one of its relatives. When you put your mind to it, it's amazing what will
go on a single diskette.
