Steven,

I followed Tom's advice and downloaded the files.

Then I tried to create a floppy from the downloaded files with this
command line in an os/2 wndow:

c:\warpup\loaddskf.exe J:\tcp-ip updates\wr08610\w08610b7.dsk a: /f

and got these results. The paths are correct.

LoadDskF 1.16p 01-14-93
(c) Copyright IBM Corporation 1989, 1993
Syntax:
LoadDskF [D:][path]filename.dsk d: [options]

The file must contain an image of the diskette that you wish to create in
the specified drive. The destination diskette is checked to ensure the
same format as the diskette from which the file was originally created.
The file must not be on the diskette in the destination drive.

Options:
/F The target diskette will be formatted to match the input image.
/Y Bypasses the user input (y/n) prior to overwriting the target
diskette.
/Y/Q Omits the warning message before overwriting the target diskette.
/S Silent Mode - Don't Beep after writing diskette.
/C Used to write 3.5" images to 5.25" diskettes or vice versa.
See the documentation for usage and limitations.

This program will work on DOS and OS/2 Operating Systems.
Comments/questions to TCOOPER@VNET.IBM.COM on the Internet.

What am I doing wrong?
