1. RE: Equal Distribution
Thanks for the help, David, and others...
An important requirement here is that I can replace a file on one of the
diskettes if ever necessary... like for updates. So, they have to exist on
the disk(s) as separate files.

I just had a thought,, what if you zipped them, or used some other compression?
As
one large compressed file, sector size wouldn't matter anymore. Even
uncompressed,
if they were appended to each other, they'd use entire sectors too, except for
the last
file. You could expand them to the user's harddrive for faster and more reliable
access
at install time.
