CONVERTING THE DISKETTE
_______________________
If you have 3.5-inch and 5.25-inch diskette drives or if you can copy
files over your network, you can copy to a 5.25-inch diskette.
To copy to one 5.25-inch 1.2-MB diskette:
1. Format the (target) diskette. Be sure to use the /S option.
2. Copy all files onto the diskette.
To copy to 5.25-inch 360-KB diskettes:
1. Make the 3.5-inch disk drive the default drive.
2. Enter
make525
at the command prompt.
This will start a batch file on the Maintenance Facility disk, which
will provide the number and format of the disks needed; the batch file
will also perform the copy operations required for placing the correct
files on the diskettes.
