I think all you have to do is to mount the floppy and copy the files to it. IE: mount /dev/fd0 /mnt -t vfat will mount the floppy on /mnt using the dos/windows file system. There is also the issue of <cr><lf> to <lf><cr> translation. If there is a problem with that I think there is a utility available to do this. === Amateur Radio, when all else fails! http://www.qsl.net/wa2mze Debian Gnu Linux, Live Free or ..... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
