If you have Windows 98 (or 95) you can make a bootable floppy, under Windows in DOS mode, with the sys a: command, and copy the three files from the floppy (ignore drvspace.bin which is also there). The DOS utilities belonging to Windows 95/98 are in c:\windows\command. Copy them to your DOS (=dosemu) path. NOTE: To boot the DOS from Win98/95 neatly (without a Windows logo flashing by, and arriving at the correct prompt) it is best to edit msdos.sys. In 'Windows DOS' this is a text file, which originally has just one line in it: ;SYS You should edit it (with an MS-DOS editor, or for instance with joe -crlf) to read [Options] Logo=0 ;SYS Good luck, Jan
