I would suggest that people go to Shareware Solutions II as he is making a
living at supporting A2.  But I will sent 5.25 disks to people for $5.00.  I'll
send out several disks with various things on them for this price.  Email me at
bbaker@hal-pc.org for details.  I am doing it more as a hobby but I do have a
boxload of 5.25 disks to use up somehow.
 
But if all you have is 5.25 disk drives you are limited to booting disks, most
of the time what you want to run will simple boot up, you only need utilities
if you are creating more boot disks.
