as many of you know, I'm interested in having a high density floppy
disk either an LS120 or an LS 240 or maybe even an 750mb zip disk, put
in my machine.  So what happens if I have a program that normally
spans 10 1.44mb 3.5 inch (floppies and I put it on a higher capacity
disk?  What do I do when I'm actually installing the program onto the
computer and it asks me to install disk 2 etc?  I've never figured
this one out.  Do I need to create some kind of batch file that would
make it automatically load the disks or do I need to manually go into
the directory and somehow load the files?  These questions also apply
to anything that was originally on a floppy that I put on cd rom or,
more likely, on a compact flash card.  I've also had situations in
which I had the reverse and had a zip file containing the directory
with all the files to a program.  But they had names like Disk 1, Disk
2 etc. and when I tried to install them, I ran into the same problem,
.  To make things worse, there were times when I wasn't sure if the
files were originally on 5.25 or 3.5 inch disks, so I could make an
actual Disk 1 or Disk 2 on a 3.5 and wind up wasting space because I
could've have fit the whole program onto one disk...  I hope I'm not
being confusing but I'm a bit confused myself here.

Thanks,
Eleni
