you run it. it is a TSR program (terminate-and-stay-resident), that works in the background like a mouse driver or a keyboard driver.
once loaded, it will give DOS access to the XDF diskettes so you can copy the files from them.

I did this - i loaded XDF.COM and it stated that it had loaded the TSR but on all Warp 3.0 disks from disk 2 onwards (the xdf disks) it still reads "File Not Found" after a DIR command.
Am i doing something wrong??
Thanks

Wouldn't you need to do something like this in your config.sys?:

DEVICE=\XDF.COM

I don't know, but that is what I would think.
