I have a working installation here on w2k with a size of appr. 700 MB. I use ntsec and I wonder which is the best way: - - copy the file sin windows ? - - make a tar.gz archive under cygwin ? I want a possibility to turn back to this version in case the upgrade to 1.5.x fails. Gruss Olaf Föllinger - -- Olaf Föllinger Berater S.E.S.A.
