From: "G. D. Akin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>You may not have to.... you might be able to copy all the floppies to their own folders on a cd and then write a bat file to allow you to install them from the cd.

The only problem (a sentimental one) with this for me is I will have to give
up my Borland Pascal 7.0. I still have the original 12 or 13 720Kb 3.5"
floppies and everytime I upgrade my computer, one of the first things I do
is install it.
I'm not an expert. Erik or Fool could probably be more helpful.

I know it is old and has fallen out of use and favor, but
_________________________________________________________________Pascal has always been my favorite language, going back to Turbo Pascal on my Apple II+. I did much of my undergraduate work in Pascal (on a PDP-10) and most of my Masters work, writing a Pascal compiler in Pascal and an OS too. I still like to fiddle with it occasionally. I know I can get a floppy drive as an "extra" but it really must be a sign that I should start fiddling more with VB now.
