I just got an old non-functioning computer from someone.
(a packard-hell). After giving up on trying to make it to work again,
I started taking out parts I could use that were still working.
Among them was an old 250MB hard disk. I hooked it up to my computer
to check it out before formatting it for a later use, and looked
at its programs to see if there is anything I could use. What can I
say? I found gold! Old games which I really liked at their time,
office utilities, old Netware client, and even what appeared to
be a fully-functioning port of X-Windows to DOS! (unfortunatly,
it was costumised to be able to run only one certain program. Namly,
an autocad like 3D design program. but still!).
Unfortunatly, I am not quite certain about just copying and moving
the programs as usuall, as some of them spread their files all
across the disk. I have however did found out something: That disk
was using Double-disk compression (or whatever they used with MSDOS
6.20). I am thinking about copying the 250MB .BIN file to my disk,
storing it there, and then later when I want to browse these programs
again just put it back on the disk. Can anyone tell me if this is
possible, and if it is, then recommend on how to do it?
