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.
