You realize, I'll never remember all this past Friday afternoon!
Tuesday afternoon, will be pushing it, considering this is a Monday!

We did get it going with Win2k, but not with WinXP.  This is after we got
the utilities.  We didn't try Win2k until after we cleaned the disk with the
utility, so I really don't know if we even needed the utility, or if our
first attempts would have been OK with Win2k.

I hate computers! And I cuss out every OS I'm working in, saying the other
OS has better features.  -- The grass is always greener on the othee side of
the hill....

Thank you for your help!

Joe
