I am very comfortable with this office suite, but I know
that my 33 disk will soon reveal the effects of it's age.
HOW do I, or can I, copy the setup files and Cab files
from all disks to CD and install from a drive other than
a: ?
Google for rawread.exe & rawrite.exe, which makes images of floppy disks to
store on a hard drive or cdrom. You will still need to use floppies to do
the install though. Good luck!
Here's some text from the readme file...
rawread.exe (create image file from floppy disk to hard disk).
rawrite.exe (create floppy disk from image file on hard disk).
rawread.exe [<target-file>] [<floppy-drive-letter>] [--image]
example:"rawread c:\temp\xfile.imz a:"
target-file = DOS filename, where to write the contents to.
floppy-drive = Drive letter ( A or B ).
--image = optional, if given rawread expects a simple zImage
starting at track 0 head 0 sector 1
This floppy usally has been generated via a linux
command like 'dd if=zImage of=/dev/fd0' or via
'rawrite' under DOS with zimage as input file.
rawrite.exe [-f <target-file>] [-d <floppy-drive-letter>] [-n]
example:"rawrite -f c:\temp\xfile.imz -d a: -n"
-f <file>: specify disk image file
-d <drive>: specify diskette drive to use; must be either A or B
-n: don't wait for user to insert diskette--assumes diskette is waiting
-h: print this help message and exit
note: please use the "imz" extension.
