I wrote a little XPL pgm to copy each of about 40 diskettes to a
directory I named Floppies. Manual disk fanged required, but now I
have all the files as files.

I have done just that, conventing all my floppies into images. 
There is a freeware program called virtual floppy drive which can be
used within Windows, or as Kari says, just use the image in VPC.

If you have old floppies, you need a computer with a floppy drive
or a USB floppy drive. Then consider converting old floppies into
disk images using programs like Winimage (virtual floppies) or
Infrarecorder (ISO files).


Then using floppies with VirtualPC is just a matter of drag-and-drop.
