Hi Gordon,
I got a tiny program (just one 32 KB file) from 1991 written by Christian
Schaaf. One should use it in DOS but normally it also works fine in a
DOS-box from Windows. Unfortunately it?s in German language but I think it?s
quite easy to work with it. Otherwise I would try to translate it for you.
It copies a floppy into one file onto a hard disk saving the disk?s volume
label as well which may be important. You can also save a short description
in the file saved on the hard disk e.g. containing a serial number. As the
program is more than 10 years old I think we don?t have to worry about the
copyright too much. I?ve been searching for a hint how to contact the author
but can?t find anything. A company?s name is not mentioned. If you are
interested in the program, please let me know.
Bye
Thomas

Subject: Archiving floppies?
Does anyone have any recommendations on software (preferably free) for
archiving old DOS floppies? What I'd like to do is to be able to make
disk
images of all (okay, maybe just 'many') of the
old DOS floppies I have so
that if they disks get trashed or the bits fall off I can remake 'em. I'm
assuming I'd probably be making these archives from a Windoze box although
DOS or even FreeBSD or Linux is a possibility.
Thanks in advance.
