RE: SAVF from V5R3 to V4R5

I agree -- if it is only for archive purposes -- ftp the save file to a
PC somewhere -- burn it to CD -- then FTP it back when needed.....
(just make sure you are in BIN mode during the FTP transfer)

Why not just FTP the save file to a stream file on any system he
chooses? 
It can always be FTP'd back, and it could even then be zipped which 
usually yields pretty good compression for save files.
