Of course it is. When my copy of LTOI2 arrived at the computer store
2 days ago it turned out to be the CDROM version (because the
floppy version I had ordered wasn't in stock), so I bought a box of
floppies and copied the games from the CD on one of the machines in
that shop. No problem at all. (Actually better than expected, since
the CDROM version of LTOI2 has 3 extra games.)

Cheers,
Sander
