Even though the file are of a higher format, the EXTRACT program that is
on disk 1 can copy these files (.cab) to the hard drive.  You can then
backup these using any backup program you wish.  If you put the files
into sub-directories labeled disk_1 disk_2 etc you can re-install
directly from the hard drive.
