I used this on a friend's printshop program. She had bought the program to use on her ps/2 but it only came with 5.25 floppy, and it would not run off of her drive B. It wanted to be booted from drive a: (at least until I could use the hard drive installation program that came with it). The copy created by copyiipc on 3.5 in disk worked fine on drive A:, we were able to boot from it and install the program. I bought copyiipc from Telemart for a paltry $18. -- John Joubert | /\ | /\ | _ Internet: pabres13@usl-pc.usl.edu | \|<>|>|> \|<>|>|><`|`| GENIE: J.JOUBERT |--/|-------/|------------ | \/ \/
