Comment:

In the previous posting I asked if there was any way that you could copy files from 5 1/4 to 3 /12 inch floppies.
I have Lotus 1-2-3 V2.4 on 5 1/4 360K floppies. I would like to make backup disks of Lotus on 720K or 1.44MB 3 1/2 floopies just in case the 5 1/4 floppies become currupt. When I use windows copy command a message comes up saying the disks are incompatiable and exits.
Does anybody know how to do this.

Have you tried copying all the files for each diskette onto a temporary folder on your windows computer, then just copying them back to five blank diskettes. The other thing you can do is to make image files of each diskette. Go to www.winimage.com and download winimage. Then make an image for each diskette.
Hope that helps,
