most/all 1.44MB disks are actually 2MB disks, the extra space is usually used for the overhead of the filesystem. i remember tools for dos called 2M (i think) that could turn a 1.44MB formatted floppy into a 1.88MB or if you felt daring i think it could go to 1.93MB. so available space is dependent on the system .. nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
