Thanks ron!

I've run into a minor glitch.

The NU8.EXE file in the UPDATE directory is 1,917 KB.

I tried using PKZIP to compress it, but it was still too large to fit onto a floppy.

So I tried to remember how to get PKZIP to span the Zip file across two floppies with this command:

pkzip -& a:\nu8.zip nu8.exe

But, when I enter that command, PKZIP just displays an instruction page.

I'm more than a little rusty on my DOS commands.

Can you help me figure out how to get NU8.EXE onto a floppy (or floppies) so I can copy it onto the HD on my DOS laptop?
