But I cant find a floppy disk large enough to hold the downloaded program??? Any ideas?? The way I usually deal with this is using pkzip. Pkzip has the ability to "Span" floppy disks. Make sure it is version 2.04g (the earlier version has a bug in the span command). To save the file to floppy type: pkzip -&u A:<zipfile> <bigfile> where: -&u will cause spanning and will format each disk in A: <zipfile> is an arbitrary target file name <bigfile> is the file you want to move. floppy drive A: is assumed Then restore the file on the other machine type: pkunzip A:<zipfile> I think this is correct but if it doesnt work check the comment line help for pkzip. -Shawn
