May you can just burn the disk files to the CD.
Assuming the program is DOS.

Couldn't Open Thumbnail

Just Ralph, for some reason I couldn't open thumbnail. Could you tell where I could get this done for 11 bucks? I really was surprised when couldn't find anyone in Vegas that could do it...

It was a pic of a $12 floppy drive on Amazon, not a service to do the transfer.
