- Does anyone know of a public domain backup utility that will backup files
- to 1.44 MB floppy, WITH file compression on the order of 50% ? I need to
- back up my drive, but would like to save on disk usage. Low HD overhead
- is desirable ( on the order of 5 free Megabytes). Can PKZIP be used for
- this purpose?
-
- Any help would be appreciated, and thanks in advance!
-
- PS: answers by e-mail appreciated.
