Thanks to all who send me a great help :
Gernot Salzer <salzer_at_logic.tuwien.ac.at>
Ross Alexander <rwa_at_cs.athabascau.ca>
"Dr. Tom Blinn, 603-881-0646" <tpb_at_zk3.dec.com>
"Callahan, Drake" <CallahanD_at_Connext.com>
So I didn't know what is on the floppy, I tried, like a dummy (yes yes!!)
a simple tar tvf /dev/fd0c and Oh miracle, it works.
The rest was easy.
Great thanks to all
JEAN
