Hi,
Use /usr/bin/dosread to read files from floppy
Use /usr/bin/doswrite to write files to floppy
man dosread for exact syntax and parameters

The floppy device (if you'll pardon the expression) is usually /dev/fd0 or /dev/fd1

The file I amtrying to download is on IBM site for apar IY34798. I am trying to download to floppy to get it on a machine in a lab with no access to outside world.
