David I will give this a try - sounds good - I'm running Win95B and will let you know how it works. I dislike MS Windooze (and NT) with a passion but there are applications I must make use of for the web site I have in the USA and these applications are not available on Linux. So I do appreciate the responses so far from the Linux community. Also, I wish to apologize for being slow getting back to everyone, I have limited Internet time as I operate from a rural area in Alberta, Canada and from this location do data transfers to my web site in the USA. So I have to prioritize my Internet useage to ensure that I can keep the USA web site properly updated. Thanks again everyone!
