  1. Thanks again, yes, only a 1.4MB floppy to the outside world. I had found some reference to 7zip that broke-up files so I installed that here and made 4-files of 1MB each. Five trips (only 1 floppy) to the workshop and back, I have them all copied over but cannot find a version of 7zip that runs on win98 **and** puts them back together. So far only the v4.xx version will run. I just tried v9.xx and it is wanting more files that the installed did not include. Are you saying that the "/b" using the win98 CLI will concatenate the 4 files back into a single one? I will give that a try right now. Nothing to lose at this point. What's the largest HDD size that win98se can manage? The current 420MB HDD (yes, Mega!) is running out of space. I can clone it across to a 40GB I have here if win98se is OK with that. Thanks for your patience.
  2. Thanks, awesome -- but a catch 22. {grin} It is 4.3MB and I only have a 1.44MB floppy for transfers. How blasé we get about GB and TB these days. That link mentioned XP so I dug out the ld XP disk and found a bunch of ",CAB" files. I have extracted (7z) those 10 or 11 and they are all small enough to fit on floppies. I'll try installing them in the System folders of win98. It is really frustrating seeing the win98 via VNC and not being able to send files. But hey, it **was** 1998. Thanks again.
  3. In a bit of a bind, so no formal Intro, sorry. I have pc that is running win98se and I can VNC to it OK and Ping it on our home network, but cannot transfer files. I just learned that win2000 has RDP that will Share a Folder and runs on 98se. I dug out my original win2K Pro cd and it is still readable. WOW! What is the RDP file named on the CD? (nothing starts with "rdp..." in the "i386" folder. I assume it will be compressed, so how can I decompress to transfer by floppy to the win98se? Thanks
