We're running Fortres 101 on our Internet PCs -- and following up on a user 
request to allow downloading programs to floppies, we're wondering if there's 
some way to do that without endangering the hard drive.  We've found in 
Netscape, we can use "Move Archive" in Winzip to move (zipped?) executables to 
the a: drive - in other words, we *can* allow people to download via Winzip to 
floppies, even with all the protections set in Fortres.  Does anyone see a 
downside to this, as long as "Move Archive" doesn't work with the C: drive?  
(It does, but only in "My Documents," where MS Word defaults.)  Thanks in
advance.
