Kevin,

Sounds like the disk is bad. Sometimes you can see the contents of a floppy
with DIR but the area where the executable is stored is damaged and you
can't run the program. If it were a problem with the drive itself, you
wouldn't have been able to boot. If you run scandisk on it, I'll bet it
would find errors. But it's easier to just copy the files to a new floppy
and throw the old one away. Or copy them onto your boot disk...then you
won't have to swap floppies.
