[Dxspider-support] recorey of user data

[Ricardo Suarez]

Hi, Dirk.

Seems clear.

I move the mojo brand new installation to spider.mojo

Copy the old-fashion spider from the broken machine to the new one

placed as sysop user on the new machine  I go to spider/data copied from 
the old machine

erase user.v3 and qsl.v1 and run user_asc

erase .git directory and copy the .git directory from spider.mojo moved 
spider, and do git reset

correct?

Regards

Rick LU9DA

p.s if not work, have the spider.mojo directory directory to rename...
