Hi,

	I just bought an iomega zip driver(parallel port) for my P75 machine.
I wonder if I can use it to store some FreeBSD/NetBSD files. If yes, how to
do so? if no, can I gzip my directories, change the file name to have fewer
than 8 charactors, and copy it to zip drive?(I mean, compress those files I
want to store; change their file name so that DOS can read; and somehow store
it to zip driver.[I guess this will work, just seems stupid])
