Ok, and tested floppy image with same newish version of VMWare player,
but through my windows XP VMWare image, and could read/copy files with
no issue, so am guessing that it must be something like a drive letter
issue, or file system incompatibility - will double check all BFI
command line options again, in case it's defaulting to something like
fat32, etc.

I just do it like this
bfi -f=c:\myfloppy.flp c:\games
makes a floppy image of all files in the games folder.

As in - sorry for multiple posts - used following bfi command:
bfi -t=144 -f=hobbit.flp src
And, had the two files for image in src sub-directory - hobbit.com
and hobbit.dat - and if I then use 7zip to extract contents of
hobbit.flp, they are there/do show up.

Ok, created the .flp image of the original hobbit game's files,
but, if I either try mount it to the already included floppy disk
piece of virtual hardware, or try create another one inside
virtual machine, it keeps telling me disk/drive not ready from
command line when virtual machine is running..?
Do you just reassign the already included floppy disk to use that
image file, do you tell it to connect at power up, or do you map
it into virtual machine another way?
TIA

virtual machine and it showed up as an a: drive then in dos with
