Yeah...come to think of it, she'd be better off just putting the files
onto a disk...believe it or not, they'd probably fit on a floppy...
They've just gotten hyped up over the CF office app I built for them
which allows their central office to handle data and all their
partner companies to tap into their relevant info over the Internet,
and allows the public to access info from the database to promote
their services. They like all that...and I'm *glad* they like it...
gooood for business... ;o)
At least one good thing has come out of all this...I've learned a lot
about FTP programs available. :o)
Thanks, everyone...
