I've used rawrite without any problems under Win2K (you sometimes get
silly messages about the program wanting direct access to the floppy).

You could always steal the BeOS floppy disk writing program, and replace
the image it's going to write :)

I think
ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/6.2/

should have rawrite in the dosutils dir?
