use a cable to transfer the files to the laptop from the machine with
the cdrom. Dont forget to use a proper cable setup...
It'll save your ass a ton-o-time. and you wont have to be splitting
files across floppies.
I use xtgold's "xtlink" which works great...
BUT - if you dont have xtlink...
MS-DOG provides the software called "interlnk", which does the same
thing - more or less.
