God dag unge mand,

 HG> Yes, I do still use the old ones I have saved stuff on!

BP> why not stick to just use zip ?

I started using computers in 1982, and after a spell with CP/M,
I migrated to the PC world in 1992.

From that year on I have zipped all files larger than 2 kb!

BP> harddest part is to find a usb floppy drive now, and then begin make
BP> zip files of the content files on floppy

The USB floppy drives are useless! They work very poorly with the power
that is supplied by the USB port.

 HG> I had to close down Windows and re-start the machine with a pure
 HG> (PC)DOS diskette, to do the simple operation of creating a copy of
 HG> that old one, while it was still readable

BP> have you searched in windows 10 apps ?

NO, because diskcopy has been included with all operating systems since
CP/M, and was still included in the Windows XP.

That was the previous version of Windows, that I used.

BP> if you dont like it, try http://www.gpsoft.com.au/ directoryOpus

WHY? I have XTree for DOS, ZTBold for OS/2 and ZTreeWin for Windows.

No "*Tree" available for *nix systems.


Ha en bra dag, og en God Jul,

Holger
