If you use Caldera, from root, you can mount an MS-DOS floppy.  I have an 
empty directory called '/a' onto which I make the mount.  On my system, 
the following does the trick:

     mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /a

Then you can read from or write to the MS-DOS floppy.  This presupposes, 
of course, that your kernel has support for the MS-DOS file system.
