Has anyone tried SFS? It should work on the zip drive, though I've not tried it (yet)...
If I recall some recent threads on alt.security.pgp (or sci.crypt?), SFS doesn't work on ZIP drives (since ZIPs use the parallel port...). [Or do ZIPs use Scuzzies and the people who had problems were just too lame to figure out that they had to load the driver before SFS?] Rob. --- Send a blank message with the subject "send pgp-key" (not in quotes) to <WlkngOwl@unix.asb.com> for a copy of my PGP key.
