Well, your information is a bit sparse. What do you have available? If all you have is an 'a' drive then you have serveral options:

1. See if zipping the file will make it small enough to fit on a floppy

2. Use back-up software to save just that file to a series of disks and then restore to the other computer. (This can be trickier than it sounds since you'll need compatable software on both computers.

3. Connect to another computer one way or another (lap-link. a modem or the like)

4. Get some other hardware which will take larger files, like a ZIP drive.

In any case, check to see if you need other files than just the .exe.
