Ghost is at <http://www.ghostsoft.com/text/abghost.htm>.
You can download a fully functional single user version, but it
will timeout at a specified date.

GHOST is essentially a disk copying program. The entire contents
of a disk may be copied from one disk to another, or they may be
copied to a disk image file, and that image file can then be used
as a template to create copies of the original disk.

GHOST is designed to be run under DOS and can be run from a DOS
boot diskette. Although DOS-based, it can handle Win95/WinNT
long file names, NTFS partitions, OS/2 extended attributes and
even OS/2 boot manager partitions.

GHOST is designed to duplicate or clone disks for IBM compatible
PCs. It works by copying all partitions from the source to the
target disk. The source and target disk may be on the same computer,
or the target disk may be on a different computer providing the two
computers are connected via a network. GHOST is particularly useful
for cloning Win95 systems. There is no need to FDISK or FORMAT the
target disk - this is done automatically.

The source and target disks may also be different sizes. GHOST will
adjust the position and size of the target partitions automatically.
