James Parry askes for a way to compress a floppy disk, including folders and files, into one file suitable for uploading... I believe that the utility called "Magic Shadow" will do this, and that it's Public Domain too... I'm not 100% sure if it's available on CompuServe, but it's worth checking in the Utilities DL area... The only drawback to using a system like this is that it would have to be clearly explained in the upload description that a non-standard utility is required to extract the disk, but it *would* be far better than having to reconstruct the folders manually..!
