how about mounting the floppy file system before trying to copy, and
umounting it afterward?
in linux: mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
haven't used the floppy drive on my Solaris system yet. I may be way
off base.
Good luck.
1. Saving and inputting floppy drive files to Word Perfect
Extreme newbe. After months managed to install Openlinux (Caldrea) on 486.
Word Perfect 8 part of the installation. But, can't the WP to access or
save files to the floppy. Both floppy and Wordperfect seem to be installed
properly. The problem is me. Wether I try to go from a floppy file to WP8
or from WP8 to a floppy I get a strange window (at least to a MS win95
user)that asks for data that I don't have the slightest idea what it is.
Any help would be appreciated, particularly if it's simple enough for me
to understand. Thanks
