hey doug, ed's suggestion is pretty cool. another route i'd suggest is one of the online hard drives xdrive.com i know that you can share files on x:drive with other pc's, but i don't know if you can download stuff, which is what you'd need to do to transfer a file. their FAQ's didn't answer that question for me, so i emailed them. there are a lot of these virtual hard drives cropping up. i've not used any, but have often thought that it would be worth looking into for the type of transferring job you're needing to do. just thinking out loud... :) mark

Moving files PC to PC ... I use software ZIP, which allows me to spread a huge file over several floppies. You can download the ZIP compression software. If you choose, you can make the compressed file self-extracting so that the ZIP program is not needed on the destination machine. One nice bonus is that compression reduces the number of floppies needed. Cheers, PW. P.S. I use the DOS version -- it's small, fast, reliable, and can work on really old hardware too.
