1997? Golly. In 1994, I sold IBM a self-extracting program for their
support BBS. It could run on either OS/2 or DOS (or NT).
So I suppose your employer, in 1997 didn't allow you laptops or modems
either? As a point of interest, 1997 was the date of the *last*
update of the program delivered to IBM. (You can still find the files on
the web).
Who was your employer? EMCC, perchance?

I'm not following. I have self-extracting
boot floppies made in 1997 still
on my system.
I used to be a field engineer. I needed tools with me, on-site.
In 1997 I could not rely on having an Internet connection, let alone
broadband, at the client's site or in my office.
