I unfortunately do not have access to such a        machine.              For the most part, it should be a matter of adjusting for differences in where        the Macs store things like the users, groups, and passwords.              Andrew              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20160322        * Origin: Phoenix BBS * phoenix.bnbbbs.net (1:320/219)    |
