Date: 18 Jan 1996 21:33:08 GMT Organization: Massachvsetts Institvte of Technology Lines: 10 Message-ID: <4dmeak$3u1@senator-bedfellow.MIT.EDU> NNTP-Posting-Host: m33-222-5.mit.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Hi, I just bought an iomega zip driver(parallel port) for my P75 machine. I wonder if I can use it to store some FreeBSD/NetBSD files. If yes, how to do so? if no, can I gzip my directories, change the file name to have fewer than 8 charactors, and copy it to zip drive?(I mean, compress those files I want to store; change their file name so that DOS can read; and somehow store it to zip driver.[I guess this will work, just seems stupid]) I-Lin Wang
