So, how do I create the small compressed image on a FAT32 hard drive?        BTW, I am compressing floppies, but some programs are too large to fit o       floppy. :(              > So each program lives in a separate compressed drive image.

I am doing that with JAM, but, IIRC, JAM doesn't work on       Win98. :(              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
