   PQ> problematic, till seeing your solution.  Thank you.   
      
   I did it too. I may never need it but just in case. The only Windows   
   system I have is on my Lenovo but the newer one doesn't even have an LPT   
   port.   
      
   Neither does it have a diskette drive so I have to use an external one.   
   In OS/2 files/programs are so much smaller that a such drive is handy.   
      
   My older Lenovo has a plug-in diskette drive and DVD player.   
      
   Have a nice day,
