Hi Alfred,

Be careful of the order,
 "I was just going to get rid of the Tmp files and then make a copy of them"

It's too bad 9.04 is not supported longer I liked it the best so far, never
had any problems on any computer.

I am not as experienced as you, but I have been know to have good ideas.
Good luck

Chris.
