Well, I figured out that the SYS command might work, and I tried it, but it doesn't work.. I had to find 35 floppy disks, and do what I feared I had to.. Thatnks for all the responses, though..I appreciate knowing that the people on the net are always willing to help a freind when he screws up big time. Rich gautier@lognet2

The SYS command generally does NOT work when moving up from a lower numbered DOS to a higher one. Well, the command works, but the result is not what you want, namely to have the first two files be those system files. This is because each progressively newer version is larger than any previous version, and the BIOS can't handle a fragmented DOS, in general. (Zenith's MSDOS 3.3+ does, but there are other problems, and that's another story.) --Frank
