Has anyone encountered the following problem with the cwp Chinese WP ?

	The program was downloaded & installed. It ran OK on 2 separate
    machines (both 286's). The files in the CWP directory was then
	backed up onto a floppy disk (including the SYS directory). 
    When that floppy was used to install another copy of the WP
    on another machine, this message came up after the opening screen :

		"Cannot find base font. Program halted."
	
	and the program aborts.
	Thinking that the problem might be with that particular floppy, the 
    "original" (the one used to successfully install the previous 2 working
    versions) floppy was tried, and the same problem persists!

	Now comes the funny part : as an experiment, the working version on one
    of the first two machines was deleted, and a re-installation
    attempted. Guess what - this time it fails ... (same error message as
	above). 

So now I have ONE working verion on ONE machine. What I want to know is
this :

	(1) How can I back up that version onto floppy (yes, I am one of those who
	    actually keep backups!), and 
    (2) How can I re-install it on another machine (using that backup
        floppy). 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

By the way, despite what some might think, my opinion is that the program
is perfectly useable (perhaps a bit more documentation would be useful). In
fact it is better than some commercial ones I have tried. Cheers to the
author.

Andy
