mcash2000 Posts: 8 Rating: (0)	Thank you for the reply and information. i am not sure what program they used to back the machine files up with but i am sure it was not step5 program. would you know if there are other programs out there that use these files or is just a guessing game ? thanks again for the time and help. mark
