Hi Barry, If you really wanted your friends to have jaws .. Well, you could
of course make a teledisk image of your diskette if you wanted to go the
whole way.
In my case I was using 3.7 and had lost my diskette. I'm sure FS would have
done the same if I was using 5.1. Indeed, I'm sure they will if one explains
the situation.
Peter

Peter you can?
How do you manage this?
I'm very suprised at them doing this as there's nothing to stop you just
forwarding it on to your friends.
That is if you really needed too.
