I have two solutions: 1. get 2m. It is a program which can format normal HD floppies to 1.8 MB. Then all DJGPP files will fit on it. You can find it on any simtel site, as msdos/diskutil/2m30.zip 2. get split/merge. These are simple programs which split a large file in 1.44MB chunks, and merge them back together. You can also compile this on any unix platform that you might use for downloading the zip files. You can find src/exe in djgpp/v1/ I wonder why they are not in the v2 directories ! I hope the v1 directory still exists. You don't really need merge. You can type in dos: copy /b djdev.000+djdev.001 djdev.zip to merge the files. Note: when compiling split.c on unix, I had to remove O_BINARY from the source. Hope this helps. ---- Koen Van Herck Electronic Design Engineer E-mail: Koen DOT VanHerck AT barco DOT com BBBB AAA RRRR CCC OOO B A R C O V I S U A L S Y S T E M S B B A A R R C O O A division of Barco Projection Systems B BB A AAA R RR C OO O OO B B A A R R C O O Noordlaan 5 Tel +32 (0)56 36 85 71 BBBB A A R R CCC OOO B-8520 Kuurne Fax +32 (0)56 36 83 55
