Gordon: I use two tools. 2FILE/2FLOPPY, a freeware utility from PC Magazine and written in the early 90's. Alternatively, I use Microsoft's READIMG/WRITIMG programs. The Microsoft programs I don't believe are available publicly -- I got them from one of the early Chicago beta CDs I think. I'm sure that there are other more modern utilities available on shareware.com or download.com. Rich ========================== Richard A.

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. GZ
