Please try fdimage -d -v boot.flp a: and send along the debug output. If "-d" isn't accepted, you need to upgrade. -- Robert Nordier State-Changed-From-To: feedback->closed State-Changed-By: rnordier State-Changed-When: Sun Aug 30 16:11:39 PDT 1998 State-Changed-Why: Submitter states that fdimage.exe 1.2 is supplied in binary and source forms on the 2.2.7 CD; but version 1.5 is only in source form. The latter worked, after being compiled. The 1.5, rather than 1.2, binary needs to appear on future CD (jkh advised). >Unformatted:
