To Lincoln Mulkey - If you use Windows XP, XP has a CD burner resident in
the operating system which can be used for backing up to CD your backed up
Legacy files. But of course if you use XP you already know that.

All you need to do is back up your Legacy Family file as a Zip file using
Legacy, find out where that backed up file is resident within Legacy
(probably in the Data Folder as a *.zip file )- and then use the "copy this
file" feature of XP to copy your backed up family .zip file to a RW CD.

In the unlikely event that you and perhaps a few other users do not know how
to find your backed up (*.zip) family file within the Legacy folder. Here is
one method.

Hold the thought that what follows is primarily for Windows XP which
includes a CD burner. The procedure for merely locating the Data folder but
not writing to a CD is identical for most Windows operating systems.

Left Click twice on the MY COMPUTER ICON
Left Click twice on your HARD DISK ICON

A list of folders will be displayed along with other file type icons.

Look for a folder named LEGACY.
Left Click twice on the LEGACY folder - the folder opens

Look for a folder named DATA
Left click twice on the DATA folder
The DATA folder opens - you will see your backed up Legacy family files.
Each backed up family file (if more than one) will be preceded with a ZIP
folder ICON and will be described as a compressed (zipped) folder -
depending on which VIEW you have designated to display the folders/files .

Left click once on the file you want to copy to a RW CD and follow the copy
instructions as they appear.

If you would like additional help please write direct to myself. At times I
will go for days or even weeks without checking the forum. (
