As the entire Q&A program and database will probably only be 2-5MB in size,
and non-windows the Zip solution is the best.  I still use a DOS based Rbase
database and move it back and forth between work and home on a ZIP, (total
3MB, just too big for a floppy, but barely a test for the zip!)  You may
have to use a "SET PATH=" command in here AUTOEXEC.BAT.
