File transfer ... Quite a while ago, I needed to transfer large quantities of data from one machine to another. I purchased a product called Lap Link which consisted of a special cable and software. It was reasonably priced and unbelievably simple to use. I had users who were profound idiots use this package without difficulty. I don't know if this is still available, but if it is, I couldn't imagine anything being easier. laplink.com Cheers, PW. P.S. I used DOS LapLink. Windows LapLink may differ. P.P.S. When I said my user community consisted of idiots, I wasn't kidding. I had people put floppy disks between the drives instead of into them. I had people complain of system difficulties when the electricity was interrupted. (This was a Doctor!) I had people unplug their printers and complain of difficulty making a hard copy. I had people demand a new monitor when they had turned the brightness knob all the way to dark. I've had users pry open floppy envelopes, remove the disk, and put it into the drive. I've had two users angry when their keyboards got exchanged.
