      What I wanted was to be able to use that file on the floppy also.  It
is the case when your hard 'data' hard disk fail and you have to wait for
uhhh-I-think-about-2-weeks to get it fixed or replaced.  The 2 methods you
mentioned works, but they the solutions I'm looking.  If that was what I 
need, then I would have used an archiver to save disk space.
