Merge Program File on Multiple Floppies Into One File

LarryL5L

I have an old program that I need to install on a new machine that doesn't have a floppy drive. The program is contained in 5 1.44Mb floppies. I'd like to merge these 5 floppies into one file that I can burn onto a CD ... and use it to try and install the program onto the new machine.

 

Anyone know how to do this in a way that would let the CD install the program? I can copy each floppy to a separate folder on a CD and try that ... but if that fails I need another method.

Its 2016, what program that would be stored on a 1.44mb floppy would be compatible/applicable with anything today? That media has been obsolete for almost two decades.

if its legitimately oregon trail, that's abandonware now, and is available free for download online.

The question was as regards to a process ... it didn't ask for approval of the program ...
