I am doing pretty good (or so I thought). I am trying to copy a tar.gz file downloaded from a Win 95 machine into my BSD system. I seem to have mounted the floppy but no files are visible. I was able to copy a file from my BSD system onto the floppy but cannot see the .tar file. When I return the floppy to the Win 95 machine the .tar.gz file is still there so I know I have'nt destroyed it. Could someone tell me the proper way to mount the floppy and read,copy the tar file onto my BSD system. Thanks in advance. John Santangelo
