Im going to try to download files from a Win3.1 PC onto WinXP PC using DCC (Direct Cable connection) Why, well its another phere Im trying to get experiance in. Is there an easy way to remember which is Host & Guest PC? In the above operating system, will it be like picking files off a Network? or will I have to resort to DOS commands. Both PCs hace C drives etc, so how will I distinguish which is which? What difference will I notice with Win95 to WinXP combination. Anyone have a copy of Laplink, or other um, freeware software to complete this task. Thanks....John jhw@xtra.co.nz	John W (523)

If you can't understand that, ask again about the bits you don't get . You get experience by experimenting (make a junk directory on each machine, and play with expendable copies of files) . Asking for a kiddie script is not the way to learn . ;-) Asking for "um, free" software here will not be encouraged . . . some people might respond in harsh terms . X-(	Graham L (2)
