I was curious what you used. I use an old copy of "fastlynx" to do the same
thing, but it will not do long file names. It is quick and easy to run. Do
you know of an easy way to transfer files from one Win95 machine to another
that preserves long file names? Direct Cable connection works, but takes a
while to set up, looking for something as quick and easy as the FastLynx I
use now.

Thanks,
Karl Gottshalk
