I used Stacker on my zip100 work disks. Now I have data trapped untill the day when I set up a Win3.1 box and install the Stacker4 disks I found at Goodwill. That day is a long way off, but I guard the floppies that constitute the shred of hope that someday I'll get those files back !

If you haven't already, you would be wise to make duplicates of those floppies, and also burn images of them to a CD-ROM. Floppies lose their magnetism over time and thus have a shelf life of ~10-20 years. They may no longer read when you get around to trying to use them. You should do the same with the zip100 disks. -- ** Scott Allen scotta-cpI+UMyWUv9BDgjK7y7TUQ at public.gmane.org ** ** Toronto, Ontario, Canada ** -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
