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.....
