This version is FAT32 only because it's now a bit too big to fit on my 256MB test key!

This is a compressed image of a 4 GB FAT32 boot partition. It's hard to buy new USB keys that small any more so I think this should work but let me know if a smaller disk image would help.

Same tools, plus WordStar 7, PC Outline, and Adobe Acrobat for DOS.

Image is substantially larger because Robert Sawyer's WordStar download is pretty big (circa 680MB). I've removed all the Windows-only components I can identify but it's still about another 250MB of software and documentation. However, it includes things like printer drivers, fonts, file-conversion tools and more, which all seems useful.

SvarDOS fixes included for COMMAND.COM, as well as TREE and AMB.

Let me know if there are problems or anyone needs a smaller image.

As promised, this is the FAT32 version. It's an image of a ~992 MB partition, with the rest zeroed. As a result it's smaller.

I will repeat the disk-zeroing process with the FAT16 version too when I have a chance.

Apart from the disk format, the contents of the two images are identical, so that should make the other image much smaller too.
