[Rhodes22-list] computer clarification

[Michael Meltzer]

I like dual processors, never have to wait, but they are pricey, and at this point their is no real 64 bit support(execpt for unix
and a window beta-read lots of driver problems), but they do run 32 bit code faster than intels.

I confuessed here, it hard to have that many file in the standard tree, are you sure you are not able to take out whole drictorys?
like a backup or save dir? are you missing something simple, the file will not have the same name in the same dir, something should
be telling them apart.
