As I don't have any access to the Net from that computer, I have to install everything with floppies. I can get all the stuff from the Internet on a sparcstation. Now what is the best way to write and read the things to/from the floppies? Do I really need to format them for MS-DOS or is there a better way? Thanks Pat
