Thanks Ken I looked that up after Leroy made a similar suggestion. I don't
know why I
didn't think of that. I may already have a disk of that somewhere.
I have to go to Atlanta for a few days and will give the low format a shot
when I get
back. I think that will do the trick.

Thanks for all the responses.
