And why should they (images) then spread, if they need to strive for zero?

Because some peeps still have MsDos PCs and thus can benefit from the floppy images?
And because some peeps know what to do with them in dosbox?

And ........ add a long list of 'because' here .....

It's not because YOU don't know what to do with them that others won't appreciate them (or simply like them).

Code:
Well, I do not know what to do with them, so be it, but I have a 1,4 m long, these are stored file. What should I do with them (slh1-4.img) to open them? If you do not complicate.:)

Depends on how you want to use them. You can use a special program to record them on a floppy, mount them as a drive in Windows (or whatever your operating system is), or read up in the DOSBox readme about the IMGMOUNT command.

Works, thanks. but then she opens the archive from 80 a year! and there are three files (open only slh1.img) = install.exe installs.tag slh_11.exe
What to do now?.
Also,try to type: imgmount e: slh1.img slh2.img slh3.img slh4.img -t floppy<
but she written Using multiples files is only supported for cue/iso images.

Or:
Use a dosbox CVS build (some support multiple floppy img mount)
Use a virtual Windows floppy drive so you can mount/switch imgs outside dosbox.

Yes, that's the problem since a few official builds back. They blocked it because it was causing problems with some games. I think 0.63 or 0.65 still had support for multiple floppy images.
