-michael....I just cut your signature out of the message I'm
responding to an pasted it at he beginning here. I'm in Kedit
and am going to paste this into my reply in netscape when I'm
done. So far I really like using my floppy, cd and zip in
supermount and have experienced no problems with the feature.
There have been problems, but I'm not going to go over them
again as they have been covered in other messages. Now let's
paste this to the reply.
Well, that was a success ;-) Mike, I hope you solve your
problems.
