Why go through all this? When I want to transfer files, all I do is bootup
MSDOS 6.2 off floppy, with INTERLNK.EXE and INTERSVR.EXE on it, run
INTERLNK on one PC, INTERSVR on the other, and poof! Instant mini-network.
Works best with a parallel connection but'll use serial too. That way the
hard drive is never even touched by DOS or Windows95.
(Note: INTERLNK.EXE and INTERSVR.EXE are both part of the DOS 6.2 package)
