| 154062 | 2003-06-24 09:41:00 | Yay! Fastlynx still lives! TVM for the tipoff, rsnic. I downloaded it straight away. The 10MB/file limit could be a bit of a bind but I have thought of a way around that. Craigb, if you can get hold of a copy of the old DOS version Fastlynx 2 (any fiddler who has been around for a while is bound to have a copy - I'll bet Godfather has one in his closet) you could use that if you have a lot of files to transfer, then go to the destination set and delete all the ones with truncated filenames. Finally, use Fastlynx 3.3, for which rsnic has given the link above, to transfer the files that have long filenames. The beauty of Fastlynx is that you can, if need be, copy the contents of a whole drive by using eg Copy C:\ with Include Subdirectories. It does error detection and correction on the fly if you want it (slows it down a bit). If you have, or have access to, the appropriate expertise, you can make up your own Laplink parallel (faster than serial) cable. You can get the pin-outs from -www.hardwarebook.net In the long run Fastlynx may be simpler than setting up networking between the 2 computers, judging by the number of 'Help wanted with network' postings I've seen on this forum. |
