Really? How much? Ive just checked my normally chaotic floppy filing system. Very chuffed to say it took <10 secs to find 2 floppies that look genuine. The problem is I cant recall how many floppies there should be. OTOH the floppies dont say disk 1 of 7 . From the very little I remember of Claris Works it does a small no of simple things reasonably well so possibly 2 floppies is feasible. no scribbling on the labels and the writeprotect tab looks like its never been moved so you may be in luck. I have nothing running right now with a FDD so they are totally untested. You also get a free copy of FileMaker Pro (on 3 discs) as well. Will you be at the meeting on Thursday? Or should I give them to Lawrence? -- Willie Fleming [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Scottish mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
