I think all you have to do is to mount the floppy and copy the files to
it. IE: mount /dev/fd0 /mnt -t vfat
will mount the floppy on /mnt using the dos/windows file system. There
is also the issue of <cr><lf> to <lf><cr> translation. If there is a
problem with that I think there is a utility available to do this.
