Hi. I think some of you would have a solution of a problem that I have. I am trying to copy a 4MB size file stored in hard disk to 4 1.4 MB floppy diskettes. Is there any way to do it? I currently have DOS3.30 running on PC XT. If there is a way to save the big file contiguously, it'll be great! Any help through e-mail will be appreciated. Bye.

the command, BACKUP comes to mind it comes with dos. If you have this huge file
alone in a subdirectory, set up a subst, making that subdirectory a logical
drive. then do the backup of that "drive". Something like
subst Q: c:\thisdir\thissubdir
backup Q:\ A:
once you have done this you must use the restore command to put it back on a ha
rd drive.
(as a side note I know that there are some utilities that let you "play with"
the file in the backed up format but at this time I cannot think of one.)
