If you're running Win98 there may be problems because the floppy disk
routines in it are unspeakably bad: they don't recognize DD disks correctly
unless you change the BIOS settings. I'm not sure about ME/XP - I would
hope that this is fixed in these. NT4 and W2K are definitely OK as far as
reading DD floppies go.
You need to use qltoolsq in a DOS window to transfer the files into the qlay
directory: there's a pretty good help built into the program.
