This is a generic response to (hopefully) cover all the questions I've 
seen about this.

My boot disk already has every concievable thing compressed into 
.CABs, and it expands them into a RAM disk. I have less than 10kB to 
play with on the disk (maybe less with some UI changes I'm 
considering), so I would need an "XXCOPYLT.EXE" file that is less than 
about 50kB (UPX or CAB or ??? compressed). I don't really care if the 
unpacked version is 1MB(!) or more.

I could have 2 Floppies, but what a pain that would be. My collegues 
(and I) have hard enough time keeping track of the single boot disk, 
let alone keeping track of 2 of the same version (I'm endlessly 
updating).

I could make it a bootable CD and put files on the CD, but then 
often you can't just pop in a disk and go (BIOS settings, etc.). 
Also, some of my clients can't boot from CDROM drives, or plain just 
don't have them. 

One person asked if they could have a gander at my disk... I don't 
think it would be a problem (though I have to check with my 
superiors), but I have to say some of it is customized for our setup, 
and would require some hacking to personalize. Let me know if anyone 
is still interested.
