Hi there,
Is there any DOS utility that I create a floppy disk image and
self extract, like Compaq's rompaq and IBM image file drivers?

There is DiskeXPress shareware program. It needs a fat formatted/
error free floppy disk to build up the original from the file.exe
It uses crc-32 methofe to check the check the transferred file..
Naturally there also exist the IBM loaddsk/savedsk imagesystem.

If you go to http://www.bootdisk.com and download one of thier boot
disks, you will find a nifty little proggy called scopy. Type scopy at
the dos prompt for a list of commands.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
the loaddskf utility should run on OS/2 and DOS. See

ftp://ftp.pc.ibm.com/pub/pccbbs/os2_ews/loaddf.txt

Quote: ¨ Run under OS/2 and DOS 3.3 or later. "

Get loaddf.zip from ftp://ftp.pc.ibm.com/pub/pccbbs/os2_ews/

Loaddf was IBM's favorite but there is a much better one that works on
older versions of DOS prior to 3.3.

Go to the MS Dos Announce discussion board, there is a utility
posted there called floima.zip (Floppy Image), works great!
