Just connect a null-modem cable to both PCs' serial ports, then type
"fx" and hit enter.  The program will tell you what to type on the other
end to automatically transfer the software from this PC to the other PC.
(Other PC needs the mode.com utility, which comes with most versions of
DOS.)

I use this with the special bidirectional parallel port cable that came
with it, and I've gotten up to 100K a second over the parallel port!
With a regular serial (null-modem) cable, the most you can get is 10K/s,
but that's faster than moving crap around on floppy disks all the time,
and with compression, you can get as high as 30K/s.

You can even use this program to transfer files across an IPX network!

I love this program, and have used it many times to make my life easier.
It was worth every penny.  It's sad that the company has gone out of
business...

The FXLINK and FXSVR programs attempt to emulate a quick'n'dirty
client-server network.  If you need documentation on how to get them
running, let me know.  The jist of it is this:  On the source PC, you
run FXSVR on the command line.  While it's running, you put FXLINK.EXE
in the target PC's config.sys, like this:

	device=fxlink.exe

Then, you reboot the target, and the source PC's drives should show up
as additional drive letters on the target.  It's slow, but hey, it
works.  I got this working so well that I was able to install Office 95
on a 386 without a CDROM drive (had to copy the entire CDROM to my
source PC's hard drive, though).  It took ALL NIGHT, but hey, it worked.
:-)

If you have DOS 5.0, don't use FXLINK and FXSVR at all, just use
interlnk.exe.
