They are in my Make_fd.bat. You have to look carefully in the bottom, its
easy to miss in Make_fd.bat. They are the programs that format the 1.44mb
floppy to 2mb floppy that allows the 1.7mb Baslinux.gz file to be put on
the 1.44mb floppy.
  I believe I forgot the boot.bat file in the above list.>

I'll send you my copy and show you if you can't find them>
