BUT, OS/2 2.0 and its service packs are stored as disk images. These are TOO BIG to fit on a floppy since they also contain format information, etc. LOADDSKF.EXE is included on the CD. It builds diskettes from the diskette images on the CD. -- Regards, Robert Gammon (713)-274-3299 (voice) (713)-274-2324 (fax)
