Let me ask some of you wiser heads here on the list a question if I may:
Is there a way to archive boot-disk images on my DOS file server? I'm trying
to archive some of the DOS versions that are on my older machines. I'm
thinking of that .exe format that IBM uses to produce bootable reference disks
for the PS/2's.....is there anything comparable to that I can use to make
a storable boot-disk image? I do make disk copies of the operating systems
I want to save, but would also like to back them up on the server. Can
anyone recommend anything that would be simple enough for a newbie like
me to use to do this?

I was recently pointed to a program called teledisk. It's dos-based and
is capable of imaging basically anything a pc drive can physically read.
I was able to use teledisk to make boot disks for my DECmate II from
images stored at sunsite.
If you're a windows user, and are imaging only dos disks, you might want
to try a program called winimage. I've used this one quite extensively.
It will image, format and copy some of the 'newer' formats such as MSes
DMF disks.

I think that winimage will do self-extracting... i've never used it
though.

Search for a program called teledisk. This'll let you do what you want.
E-mail me pvt if you want me to send it to you.
