If it's Office 2000 or older, a simple disk copy will work. If it's XP, I don't know. If an ordinary disk copy does not work, try the dd command, as it does a literal byte-by-byte copy. This should take care of any odd/hidden/sekkrit bits. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Carla Schroder www.tuxcomputing.com this message brought to you by Libranet 2.8 and Kmail ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
