Hi guys!
Saw you talking ... and I may be lost. <G>
I think Clarence said:

Are you talking a master program to create a PA for each individual
user who wants one specific to a certain system? That might not be as
difficult as it seems. I can think of a couple of ways of doing it
right now, depending upon whether the system had one or two FDDs or
would need to first put the setup on HDD then copy setup to FD. Using
"chained" batch files should do the trick.

If you are serious about creating a program you can carry on one
diskette to another computer, and use to make a customized PocketArachne
for that system, get with me privately. I only have about 208 irons in
the fire right now, so what's one more project? I'm already half-way
decent with BATch language and just found a whole big resource for the
fine turning of BATch processes. <G>
