Hi dsig,
On 28 August 2000 at 10:21:17 GMT +0000 (which was 11:21 where I
live) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote and made these points on the subject
of "Configuration Transfers - TB POOR":

Agreed and often stated on these lists.

That position doesn't add up. Yes, it is not necessarily a good
implementation decision to use registry instead of CFG/INI files to
hold configuration data and that is an often stated criticism. It is
also a criticism I completely agree with. That doesn't mean that a
whole raft of problems awaits "under the hood".
It is a just few second's work to dump the TB registry key (there's
only one structure) with an "Export" command from within regedit or
even to set up a batch file to do it. It is even less work to execute
the .reg file to re-instate the settings on another system.

Sure it will:
