Another question. I have downloaded a copy of VMWare and the Ubuntu VM. I
keep the VM in a folder on the D drive. If I update the installation will
the updates be saved? If I then copy the contents of the Ubuntu folder to
another machine will it retain the updates?
Thanks Alan. When I close the machine it doesn't ask if I want to save but
appears to anyway.

They will be saved if you elect to save them when you close the virtual

If it *does* return something, I suppose you could pass another

cReturn =

No need for the @cReturn as procedures automatically pass parms by

If you're unfortunate enough to have ATT DSL this may happen to you.
It appears that the problem is that they switched me to their upgraded
service Sat night. That killed my DSL 'cause the line won't take it --
too far from the switch.

Any DEV workstation that I would buy, must have a minimum of 2 Gig of
