It would be really useful for some of my older programs. I've shifted a few Windows programs & utilities around between different OSs in the past and found that once you had the .exe in place, a series of error messages would tell you what was missing each time you tried to run it. After all those bit & pieces were transferred the programs ran OK. I also used the 'Transport' function in a program called MicroHelp Uninstaller 3 with great success but as it was designed for WFWG 3.11 (but claimed compatability with Win95) I doubt it would be much use with W2K or XP! Any ideas or info on commercial transport programs, freeware, shareware or hacks would be appreciated. Cheers Billy 8-{)	Guest (0)
