Greetings, I have two programs from PC Magnet (Compuserve) that allow you to copy a floppy disk to a file on a hard disk and from the file on the hard disk back to the floppy. ( like dd in unix ). the 2file copies the floppy to a file on your hard disk. It can be zipped or arced and then transmitted over the modem. At the other end you decompress and use the 2floppy routine to get the data back on the floppy. My problem is that the 2floppy routine doesnt work ! I have tried it on several systems and all of them produce errors. 2floppy wants to format the floppy and produces an error before writing a single track ! Anybody else have this problem ? I am somewhat distraught as I have 12 MB worth of data in these floppy files that I need to move to a diskette so that I can get at the data.
