	The easiest thing to do is get a hold of the PD tar, PD compress,
and the PD PIPE: device.  You simply set up a script which TAR's the harddisk's
root directory PIPE'd through compress with compress's output going to a 
floppy.  If you have a lot on your hard disk, you would have to do several 
TAR's on it's subdirectories rather than a single TAR from root, each going to
a different floppy.  I use this method backing up my floppies... I get about
800K -> 200K (backing up mostly text).

	Did I say easiest?
