Yes, but there's a bit more stored with this, than a PDC stores. Still, it's

Well, it could be any app - maybe nmap or whatever. The thing with ZEN and
SMS is that it copies all files; changes all registry settings; etc, without
you having to go thru the "INSTALL" or "SETUP" routine, and choosing certain
organization-specific settings. It's a snapshot of an installed app. I
suppose you could do the same, altho that in itself is a major project.
