Sunday April 11 2010 at 12:14, you wrote to me:

That's normally where I have to find things I need-buried on a backup
somewhere.  However, most of mine are on CDs and 3.5" diskettes but a lot of
those can be unreadable too.

I'm assuming all of them: in the "instructions", the author said "Async
Professional for DOS".  I know that he uses Async Pro for the file transfer
protocols (he told me that once years ago).

Probably not.  I'd have to completely gut the package of its SVGA capability
which might be more work than it's worth.

Believe it or not, that's what the author told me too!  However he also said
that at the time, he didn't want to write his own code so he used Async Pro.

Oh well, I'll figure it out one way or the other. <G>

Later,
Sean
