4002.0. "How to upload a bootable disk?" by BAHTAT::BAHTAT::HILTON (How's it going royal ugly dudes?) Thu Aug 09 1990 05:31

    I have recently acquired a shareware game called 'Star-Trek The Game'
    which at first impressions seems pretty good, so I though of sharing it
    with everyone. However I want to know how I could pack the two discs
    down and then put them on some VMS system somewhere.
    
    I think I know how to do it, but my problem is the disk's are bootable,
    so if I insert them when I'm booted under AmigaOS, then they come up as
    bad disk. ie I think this means it has it's own non-standard
    boot-block.
    
    What do I need to do to compress them??
    
    
    Many thanks,

    Well, first off, I think this disk is already up here somewhere, so
    there I don't think there is a need to upload it.
    
    And secondly, you need a 'warping' program which compresses the entire
    disk track by track.  Use either warp or lhwarp.  Warp is faster,
    lhwarp makes smaller files.  Take your pick.
