Almost certainly :) It triggers a similar "cross-partition" memory; many beta versions ago I had problems saving a TB! backup to a NT 4 partition from a Windows 95 machine (during production of the backup TB! writes temporary files, the directory for those being on the Windows 95 machine). The problem went away before I raised a bug report ... > Anyway, it's a temporary problem; before I register TB I'll have > decided whether or not to buy Win2000. > Thanks to all who offered help and advice; although I eventually found > the solution myself, I would never have thought of the answer if I > hadn't been subscribed to this group. I had been writing a response (which I threw away) along the lines of "Given that ZIP files work another workaround is to use WinZip's self-extractor (C:\Program Files\WinZip\WZSEPE32.EXE on my machine) to create a self-extracting ZIP file which people _without_ WinZip can receive, copy to their hard drives, then click on to extract the original file."
