no, that would be to much for a program that has only about 43kbyte. can you give me an example what you want to copy?

Why does it have to fit in 43KB?

Why does it have to fit in 43KB?

it doesn't have to fit in 43kb. the size is 43kb.

it has to be so small, because the hard disk install version and plpbt.bin are nearly the same. only a few small things are different. the hard disk version must be small to be able to be installed to the first hard disk sectors, before the first partition starts. plpbt.bin itself could be bigger, but then i have a different program to the hard disk version.

however, for that what zasi wants, its required to support all ntfs and fat version to have access to the windows file system to write/read data.
