Drive image can make a image file (with compression) of a HD partition. You
can also split the image file into multiple pieces so you can backup to
CDs. Cannot find its URL. It's the same company that makes Partition Magic.
Virtual Drive (www.farstone.com) and make images of CDs so that you can
have multiple CD mounted.
Hope this helps,

Try a quite different tack. Just prepare your material with what
works best for you and then make up an Adobe Acrobat .pdf file.
The Acrobat reader should know how to print from the machine it
lives on and the machine will most likely already have one. So
you will only need to carry the .pdf file around.
The great merit of Acrobat .pdf files is that the reader is
available everywhere and works nicely. The drawback is that you
will have to pop for the the whole Acrobat package. When it first
came out it was a bit of a stretch as it was $$$, but it is now a
lot cheaper with either ~$200 for the kit or various specials
and maybe even academic pricing. But you also get a nice postscript
reader by converting and then reading. You will never again have
to worry about whether the recpient can read your stuff. If you
can get help with the shareware scene, you can get much the same
benefits with GhostScript and save a few pennies at the price of
extra fuss. Depending upon your circumstance the balance of pennies
vrs fuss can differ quite a bit. In most parts of the world fuss is
very expensive although universies are rather different.

Gordon raises an *excellent point. BUT, you can also freely download the
PDF Writer Chooser Extension from Adobe; and you can also get a
complimentary copy of Acrobat Distiller with the $179 upgrade package to
PageMaker 6.5x - Either Mac or (32 bit) Windows (95/98/NT/2k).
Hope this helps!

Wouldn't it be a LOT easier to simply buy yourself a copy of
Adobe Acrobat? This would allow you to create the documents in
whatever program you liked NATIVE on the Mac - and then simply print
them in all their beauty on Windows?

Uhh, unless they hid it really well, Adobe doesn't have the PDF Writer
for the mac, it's windows only, and requires Acrobat to function.
Also, it may be just my inexperience with the package, but, from what
I've done, Ghostscript makes really crappy .pdf's :-(

I am using Outlook 8.2 under MacOS 8.6. Everytime I log into the

Your Microsoft Exchange Server is unavailable.
You can retry connecting to the server using the network,

Network problems are preventing connection to the

When I Retry the connection goes through just fine. Is there anyway I
