Hi davisbaumung,

I think you'll struggle to get that 9MB file compressed and onto the floppy.
Floppies hold upto 1.44MB and winzip often gets compression of less than 50% with executables.
If you have more than one floppy you might be able to split the archive across perhaps 4 or 5 disks but I don't think this feature is available in the evaluation version of WinZip.

Sorry I can't be more help.

It is available, but just not a very elegant solution. If the computers have CD writers and XP on them, you may have CD writing set up already on it.
