hello everyone,

Can anyone tell me how to compress a folder of files so that I can copy 
it onto my pc's A (floppy) drive? I currently have 3.5" discs which can 
otherwise not hold a complete folder of files.

I've already tried saving the folder(s) using WinZip or win-gz before 
saving to floppy, but the overall kilobytes size seems to still be the same.

Maybe any compression only reduces the folder to say, 1 file, but there 
is no way to actually reduce the size?
 
Any advice appreciated,
lee
