It is at home at least for the time being so there's no network connectrion. I need to know how to get files off the system and bring them into my work. Onto floppies seems to be the only possibility. Can FreeBSD write to DOS floppies? I've tried to copy files to the /dos partition and was informed that this was "read only". Can anyone point out a book or maybe a FAQ that explains how to do this. Thank Ron Porter -- *********************************************************** *Ron Porter porter@chem.wisc.edu * *Univ.
