From the online help:
-&[f|l|u        Span disks [Format|format Low density|Unconditional
format|
  ul|w|v]        Unconditional Low density|Wipe disk|enable dos Verify|
  [s[drive]]        Back up entire disk w/ subdirs (-rp) [drive to back
up]]

A simple PKZIP -& A:PICTURE TOOBIG.BMP should do the trick, assuming
the floppies are formatted.

Yeah, and a pretty beg screen with a wandering "I agee" button :-)
