No need. Use it in raw mode. Can get more on it, no file sustem
requirements in the sending or receiveing system. Using someting like
cpio...
find . | cpio -aov >/dev/fd0 # of fd0H1440 or ...
cpi also had some key letters added such as -O so that I/O redirection
is not necessary. Find can use all the usual parameters to do selection.
To get more on the floppy
find . | cpio -oav | compress >/dev/fd0 # of fd0H1440 or ...

That part remains essentially the same, but use tar or cpio from the raw
file again:
cpio -iduma -I /dev/fd0 # or ... and or </dewv/fd0 ...
If you compressed it
uncompress </dev/fd0 | cpio -idumav # v=make noise as usual

They say your memory is the second thing to go.
Your suggested way also will work.
