Problem Title:
Foundation: How to move a project around


Problem Description:
Two methods to move a Foundation project around are described
below.


Solution 1:

1) Use the File->Copy Project command in the Foundation
   Project Manager to copy the project to another location.
   This can be used to copy projects onto a floppy and then
   onto another PC.  This function also allows you to rename
   a project.

2) Use the File->Archive... command.  This uses PKZIP to
   zip up the project directory, the <project>.PDF file, and
   some other files which may be needed (your current
   AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, etc).  The zip file can then be
   transferred to another PC and unzipped with PKUNZIP -d.
   (Foundation 6.0.0 users will need to move the
   <project>.PDF file up one directory level after
   unzipping).

Method 2 requires that the project name remain the same, and
that the project is placed in the same directory as it was on
the original PC.  So if a user archives a project called
C:\MYPROJ\PROJECT1.PDF, it must be unzipped into a directory
called C:\MYPROJ (Foundation 6.0.1), or C:\MYPROJ\PROJECT1
(Foundation 6.0.0).  The project can then be moved or renamed
using the Copy Project command.


Both methods copy *everything* in the project directory,
including the XPROJECT\ subdirectory, if one exists.
