Hello:

Did we quit top down posting here?  I would like to help but the  
state of this post makes the problem very confusing and greatly  
lacking in necessary detail for anyone just starting.  Yes, I know, I  
may have missed previous posts.

If you (Rich) would restate the problem in detail, assuming you  
haven't solved it already, you will do two things:

1.)  Either figure out the solution yourself in the process, or

2.)  Give Clark or me or someone else the ability to solve the problem.

What are the exact machine descriptions?  What are the operating  
systems involved?  Please enumerate the number of transfer types  
available to you, hard drive bus, ethernet, serial cable, CD, floppy  
(the solution to the floppy problem would be to get either a hex  
editor or a floppy size file splitter.  Stuffit should be able to do  
this, along with other file compressors.  Apples' Disk Copy can also  
do this.  Split the files to what you need and transfer and  
reassemble if you have an operating system that will handle the same  
file splitter on the Duo), etc.

Sincerely yours, Grizzled Giant
