One of the basic files you failed to copy is a file called log.log, which was
created with the original install. The chances are excellent that when you copy
this file over all will be well. Perhaps Tim B., who sits on the list's Council
of Wise Persons, can give some insight as to why this annoyance was created in
the first place. The suspicion here is that it dates back to the Dear Dead Days
of the "Signature" Alliance with IBM.
