Assuming you have modems in both your machines (and if one of them doesn't, a modem is certainly cheaper than a zip drive), you can: 1. Transfer the file from one to another via modem; or if both computers can't be online at the same time, next best way is: 2. Upload the file to a local BBS or [if absolutely necessary] post it to *one* of the <non-busy> binaries newsgroups ... then download it later to your other machine. If possible, schedule your upload for late at night when most systems usually aren't as busy. Good luck.
