===============================
This second issue of MasterView provides you with a set
of unique solutions for managing your presentation files
when they are not small enough to fit in a normal 1.44 Mb
floppy disk.
It's frustrating and time-consuming to spend hours in
creating a presentation and suddenly realizing that you
need to run it on a computer other than the one where you
first created it.
You try to copy it on a floppy disk, but it will not fit.
You try to send it by email, but your server will reject
it since the file is too large.
In a few, easy steps you will see how some little-known
Windows built-in tools and a few unique software
utilities can instantly help you to solve all of the
problems connected to the management of any large
presentation file.
