Hi, my problem is very simple. I finally decided to dig into LapLink LPT file transfer so I can backup my oldest machines (carrying files over single 360k floppy isn't fun AT ALL!!!). I made myself LapLink LPT cable, set up VMWare Virtual machine on my main PC, through VMSMOUNT I got it to talk to shared folders and with the help of INTERLNK.EXE and INTERSVR.EXE I can now copy files directly from old PC to designated space in harddrive in main PC. But there is one problem - I was using XCOPY, but what I found is some files does not copy properly. Not that there is problem with communication, the program itself can't chew some names with non-standard letters (like ě, š, č etc...). Also, some extensions are not copied ("games.grp" copied over to "games" with no extension). So I need better program that can copy files more reliably. Is there something like that? Thanks 😀
