James Parry askes for a way to compress a floppy disk, including folders
and files, into one file suitable for uploading...
 
I believe that the utility called "Magic Shadow" will do this, and that it's
Public Domain too...   I'm not 100% sure if it's available on CompuServe,
but it's worth checking in the Utilities DL area...
 
The only drawback to using a system like this is that it would have to
be clearly explained in the upload description that a non-standard utility
is required to extract the disk, but it *would* be far better than having to
reconstruct the folders manually..!
