How convert disks to CDs

[***Jamoke***]

I have a number of disk based apps that I want to place on CDs. Some of
them span more than one disk. How do I put them all on one CD so that they
install properly? Thanks.....

Create a folder for each disk's contents on your hard drive (disk 1, disk 2,
etc.). Copy the contents of each disk into the appropriate folder. Burn
all the folders on to a CD. When you need to install, start with the
install program from the first folder, when you are prompted for the next
"disk", point the installation program into the next folder.

Is there another way so that I won't have to point to successive folders (in
other words, once I start the installation process, the program will
completely install)? Thanks again..........

It depends on the particular program in question. If none of the file names
on the various disks are duplicate names, then just put them all into one
folder and you probably won't get prompted for successive disks. Often
though, each disk will have a file that is the same name as a file on
another disk and when this happens, you need to do it the way I described in
my first post.

Make sure you test those CDs before you lose the floppies. Some of the
install routines are hard-coded to the A: drive and may not run properly
from the cd.
