Making disk images
To send the files now stored on any floppy disks you created, you can use a

NOTE:
If you suspect you have a boot virus, you must use RWFLOPPY
to send your samples electronically; otherwise, you must send your

using RWFLOPPY, the samples will be incomplete or unusable, as boot
viruses often hide beyond the last sectors of a diskette, and other diskette
image creation programs cannot obtain this data.
