Either someone's news reader isn't in synch or I didn't make myself clear the first couple of times. The whole point is to make it easy for USERS LESS TECHNICAL THAN OURSELVES! I know of several Mac users in my area who wouldn't even know where to *find* the system file or that it even exists. All they do is run applications. They'd never make heads or tails of the instructions above, but they'd still like to check their systems for viri. If all they do is run applications then how do they even get the file, you ask? Easy! I mail it to them (via QuickMail...real easy) or they get it off of a public server (easy, too). There are other easy ways that a non-techie could get the program, so I'd like a non-techie way to get a *CLEAN* *BOOTABLE* copy to them (other than the US mail). Oh, well.... I guess I'd better start licking stamps..... -- / George D.
