Back in 1995, Microsoft came up with a way to fit more data on floppy disks so that they could ship their software on fewer diskettes.
Shortly therafter, everything moved to CDs, and you'd be hard-pressed to find commercial software shipped on a floppy.
Fortunately, the format is still useable for those who still use floppies to store and move data.
This new format can hold about 1.7 megabytes (compared with 1.44 for normally formatted floppies).
To format floppies with DMF (distribution media format), obtain WinImage version 2.2 or later.
Note: More information is available on .CAB files, commonly used to compress distribution files placed on DMF floppies.
