'course, like the time I invested in ValueJet stocks, I : could be wrong ;) If You just want to exchange data between multiple OSs why don't You use a DOS/FAT partition. This is the way I used to exchange data between DOS/Windows OS/2 and FreeBSD. Works just fine... Andreas -- Andreas Haakh * Steinackerstr. 6 * 64285 Darmstadt * ah@alvman.RoBIN.de
