Copy down the rawrite2.exe file also. Then from a DOS prompt (in DOS,
Win95, or WinNT) type
rawrite2 -f resc1440.bin -d a:
(assuming your blank floppy is in the A: drive). Alternatively, I believe
you can just type
rawrite2
and it will prompt you for the filename and destination.
After it's finished copying, remove the floppy and label it Rescue Disk.
Then do the same thing for the other disk images (only replace the
"resc1440.bin" filename in the example above with the filename of the next
image to be copied).
Hope this helps.
