Hi.
Is it possible to convince blu to unpack off of one
floppy onto another floppy that will be inserted into
the same drive at later time?  What I am trying to do is
unpack a 400k byte file that will produce about 700k worth of files.
Once unpacked, the new files and the original file will
not fit onto a single 3.5" disk, so blu won't let me do it.

An alternative would be to put the original packed file into
ramdisk, but I don't have enough ram to do that.

Another alternative would be for some kind soul to
post the system disk 4.0 packaged into smaller
chunks.  I spent an hour downloading the two packages
from a bulletin board only to find that I cannot unpack them!
No, I am not too cheap to pay for the disks and documentation,
nobody in Columbus, Ohio will admit to having it yet, and I
am getting anxious.

Thanks for any ideas,
Jim Brohard
