No, a 5.25" disk holds 2*15*80*512 == 1228800 bytes, without DOS data structures. You need to use the RAWRITE.EXE program to copy the files to diskettes. -- - Charles Hannum, mycroft@ai.mit.edu a straight dressing, mentally unchallenged, vertically unchallenged, ..., English-American of no color, no religion, and a strong mating preference for people of gender.
