Extract it using winzip, then remake it using winzip with the option to make a self-executable.
Beware, this will greatly increase the filesize.
If you extract it, you could probably just put the needed files, for the needed OS on a floppy, instead of the whole thing.

well i tried the exe option when i went to use it and went part way and said the disk was not complete,so i tried again and picked old spooling method it asked for the disk,but it didnt ask for another?i already tried to get it on one disk and there wasnt enough space ,does spanning create more space,i want to put the whole file on because i dont which files to pick.
thanks

If you have the latest winzip, all you had to do was right click the already made .zip file and there will be an option to create self extractor. I'm not sure if you can span across floppies AND have it be executable at the same time. I don't think you can, but let me know otherwise.

It's only 532k, about half the size of a floppy diskette.
What's the problem?
