: Hi Mark, : Just got a new laptop and I would like to tranfer FM from my desktop to laptop
: using a 3 1/2 inch floppy. The floppy capacity is 1.44 MB. The FM folder size is 1.6 MB. I can't tranfer the whole folder at once and I haven't figured out how to break down FM into individual files. Is there a way to break down FM into individual files or is FM one huge file? Right slicking on the FM icon and then on property indicates that it is one file. I'm missing something here. It can't be on huge file. Help!! Hi Roger,
The distributed file to install FM from (fundmn46.exe) is larger than will
fit on a single floppy. If you have an internet connection on your
laptop you can download the file to it's hard drive, and then install
FM on your laptop. You need to run the installation program to set
up FM on your laptop, you cannot just copy the directory containing
FM on your desktop to your laptop. The installation program sets up
various other items, such as registry settings. After you install FM transfer your investment and portfolio files to
the laptop. This is unrelated to FM, but for transferring large files between
computers there are many other options, including programs like "LapLink",
or zipping files across multiple disks. If you're going to be
transfering very many files floppy disks are quite slow... Thanks,
Mark
