However, dragging and dropping from one NFS drive to another resulted in 0 length files on the desination drive. Yes, I did have r/w permissions oo both directories. I never bothered trying to/from local drives. I wonder if the Print Manager will ever support unix printer queues? Would be nice instead of lprmon, lpr, lprm, etc. -- / Charles Carlson umcarls9@ccu.Umanitoba.CA \ This .sig now available on a limited edition 2 record set, for 4 easy / installments of $19.95 each.
