[rescue] Disposing Of OS/2 Apps (old floppy installs)

[Kevin]

I remember installing Macromedia Director (actually, i think it was still
Macromind back then) in 1992 on a Mac IIci.  I think it was somewhere
between 24 and 30 floppies.  Took forever.  That's the largest floppy app
i've personally seen.  Anyone know any larger?  What's the record?
