It appears that soon the only repository for DOS files of this nature
will be non-public archives maintained on an underground network. As
with any underground, the more members the better. I might be able to
spare the room for a full archived "mirror" of a site, but that takes
away backup room for other things ... thus I wouldn't want to have to
maintain full archives, and feel it would be safer if they were divided
and spread around. Some of these things run 6Mbytes in the current
configuration [I still don't know how the image file can be used to
create a boot diskette, when one doesn't have windows and the .ima file
apparently requires it.
On another, but related, tack:
I spent hours the other day looking for decent imaging software and have
yet to be satisfied -- anyone have any suggestions?
