Matt: I mentioned "Norton Virtual Drive" being on the same disc as Ghost. I
use the VD program on both the Lib and my desktop. The desktop thinks it has
19 drives. 5 real, floppy, HD, CD, CD writer, & zip. The other 14 are virtual
drives, Print Shop and Print Master both have 6 or 7 discs, plus I have
Garmin Roads and Rec. for the GPS III +, DeLorme Topo for SW topo maps and
3D. All programs run from the VD discs. In the Lib I just have the R&R and
Topo for on the road and the GPS. No need to drag along a CD drive.
If you have the disc space it eliminates a lot of hassle.
I install the program from the Virtual drive so that it knows where to find
the data.
