Hi Gregy;
But, the real challenge is to get EVERYTHING you really need on one floppy.
That's really the only reason I'm giving it any thought.
And I must say, even after seeing Glenn's system, this is NOT a simple job.
To make ONE diskmaker for ALL users is a real challenge. I would never make
assumptions about the user's operating system or configuration or even their
path, for instance. How do we create config.sys and autoexec.bat that takes
into account the users' choices for memory managers and caching software ?
Nor would I require the user to have some special software - like Norton
Integrator. Glenn has it and I have it - but we can't assume everyone does
and we cannot legally ship it to everyone. So if anything special IS needed
we have to write it and provide it.
I'll probably be still thinking about it after the interest has disappeared.<G>
