Re: [emax] Has anybody got an image of disk to upgrade from emax to emax se?

Yeah, I'm not sure where the Files went. They use to be in the groups 
File area. I'd have to look around on a couple of my older PCs since 
I've gone through about 4 of them since that page was made on my site. 
It's hard to believe, but I've been involved with this group for about 
14 years now (starting with the original group pre-yahoo). A lot of 
information has accumulated, but with that also means a lot of it is 
very outdated or from sources that have since moved on. I more or less 
just monitor the group now and approve members.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
