Thanks for confirming that my option of asking a local admin with internet access was the right way.

Still... had to load the tape on our office AIX machine (the only Unix box I had access to), then wire up a null modem cable to a PC, install Kermit on both ends, transfer all the floppy images, find an MS-DOS image writer, and finally copy the works on that stack of floppies.

Good times, sort of :)

Yes, good times! I have the experience of copying games on multiple floppies; though it might be seen as an inconvenience tech-wise, it had other things which was fun. Travelling to a friend's place, yapping while it was getting copied. Cutting the archive into pieces and joining them back was a small personal learning exercise, and more. Thanks for the story!
